Update on TiVo and BBC
Oh, oh looks like TiVo made an enormous PR blunder. I wondered how the BBC had managed to force everyone on their network using TiVo to record a specific program. It seems that it was TiVos idea, a new “feature” they aer implementing to reassure networks that they won’t lose consumer eyeballs. Naughty naughty TiVo - i won’t be buying your product now no matter how convenient it might be.

Exactly - One of the things that really concerns me these days is the increasing lack of consumer privacy and free choice. The amount of spyware that is out there is incredible and added to that there are problems like with TiVo taking away free choice. We won’t even go into the RIAA, the motion picture academy, Senator Hollings et al - and their attempts to remove the option of choice altogether.
