 Yeah that's the OTHER "problem" with the Tivo and its ilk (from the TV industry perspective).. besides the commercial skpping stuff... if I've got 120GB of disk space attached to my TV that is filled exclusively with stuff I decided I wanted to watch (and I do, well, OK, there's stuff for other people in the family too), I will never again sit down and just watch whatever's on.
(Two posts in a row... if we were back in the old Waffle BBS I'd be accused of trying to up my post-to-call ratio!!)
