So the other day I get a message on my TiVo saying that I’m getting all these exciting new features, like the ability to view pictures and play mp3s from my computer on my tivo, which I will admit is a mostly useless display of tivo’s mighty linux muscle, but who cares I’m a giant dork and I love this stuff. Anyway one of the features I get is the ability to have tivo connect to my home network through a wireless adapter, so no more phone cord, which is pretty cool. So I’m like reasonably happy, so I go onto ebay and find a used usb wireless adapter pretty cheap, everything is going great, blah blah blah.. well I finally decide to actually read tivo’s fine print, and I guess that even though I’m a lifetime subscriber all this extra fancy new stuff is part of a “premium subscriber package”, which costs me an extra 100 bucks. What a load of crap. I guess my original 250 bucks wasn’t good enough for those bourgeois tivo cocksuckers.
Anyone else have any gripes about TiVo’s draconian pricing strategies?
(Note: Other than this minor setback, TiVo is about the greatest thing ever.)
