ReplayTV RTV5516 160-Hour Digital Video Recorder
NO SERVICE INCLUDED
What is are these bozos thinking. <br />They dropped the price from around $500 to $150 and then told people that the service was free.  <br />It took ReplayTV a full week to let retailers know that SERVICE IS NOT INCLUDED for this price.<br />Now they are blaming Amazon and and other retailers saying that &quot;Unfortunately, certain retailers may not have taken the appropriate steps to change the pricing model resulting in potential confusion for customers.&quot; This is not Amazon or other retailers fault. <br />This is a company whos product was not selling and took desperate measures to sell their devise. Hoping that if recieved it as a gift, they might just say &quot;oh well and pay the price.&quot;<br />Replay's previous company went bankrupt because they had no idea how to run a business. I hope this one does too.<br />If you gave this item as a gift... hope you gave the reciept.  <br />It is quite obvious that TiVo is better, but if the service fee was free, I was willing to give it a look.  I am off to return my replay unit and get a TiVo from Amazon.
