....only because I have too. As soon as a non-subscription unit comes my way, I'm dropping Time Warner's unit and the occasional restrictions they place on things I can record. And also the fact that I can't burn what I want to either disk or HDD. Of course it is the idea of stand-alone, non-subscription priced DVRs that cable and DSS fear. No more milking people for something they don't have to pay for. No forcing people to view ads.

Get a capture card for your computer

then record and watch. You can also burn to DVD. No restrictions. No fees. Not as simple though.

No Wonder TV Stations are Freaking Out

Because more and more people are watching "recorded" shows and skip all the boring part of the TV programs, including ads of course :)

If they start offering free boxes, you can kiss this feature goodbye. they might even give you extra downloaded commercials.
