I think his point was that they need to either charge you per-month or charge you a lump sum once, not both.

Like Tivo does by charging $599.99 for a Series 3, and then $16.95 per month to keep it running?

Where I live Time Warner Cable wants $20 per HD DVR per month. This breaks down as $10 for box rental, and $10 for DVR service.

I'm sorry, but unless you have lifetime Tivo service or lifetime ReplayTV, DirecTV is the clear winner (for me).

While that's true, by everyone's account, that was DirecTV's fault, not TiVo's.

True, but the fee is still being taken.

...they're also propping up Rupert Murdoch's favorite PVR developer, Pace Micro.

Thomson is also a manufacturer of the HR20 series.
