Scoble & Tivo
Since Scoble's comments seem to be down for now, here's my response to “Why hasn't Tivo taken off“, which was actually an extension of Mark Canter's post
The single factor for me not purchasing a TIVO is the subscription model. I despise things that a) track what I do and b) aren't mine when I buy them. A simple solution for me? I bought the panasonic DMRE80H. It's got an 80gb hard drive and DVD burner, with tivo features, except for the profiling and suggesting. (And I do find myself in the habit of trying to fast forward live tv because of it!) I love watching tv shows at 1.3x normal speed...
Just maybe, I should check my own net connection first before declaring someone else's site issues :)
