TiVo Series2 Digital Video Recorder (*TiVo Service Fee Not Included)
TiVo Connection Required
One of the earlier reviewers stated that you could use the TiVo without subscribing to their &quot;TV Guide&quot; service.  That is not correct for the Series 2 units. If you don't subscribe, after 30 days the unit will cease to record anything. You've spent $300 for a boat anchor.  Don't think about changing the software just because you know Linux. You'd have to unsolder the eprom, burn a second one and install it before you could start to change the software. It ain't worth it.  Buy something else.
