This is a great way to kill your dominance of the DVR market share. If I had a Tivo I'd be looking for other options already.

@Hooray4Zoidberg: agreed. I mean, I could understand it if customers weren't paying for the service - heck, give them the option to have ads in lieu of monthly subscription fee and they might take it. But just to try and make a little more money off of them? That's just an abuse of trust.

My TimeWarner Cable DVR doesn't do that, though it probably will shortly. But given the choice between suffering ads on my TimeWarner DVR or buying hardware and paying for service on a TiVO and watching ads, I think I'll stick with TWC, as much as it pains me to say that.

Thank God! TV Stations and different Media networks need to make money somehow. If we don't see advertisements, how would programing ever be paid for?

I dunno,...the subscription fees?

@Kaiser-Machead: I believe he was referring to something like, "How is NBC going to produce 'Law & Order' without advertising revenue," and not referring to the subscription fees for TiVo service.
