No more premium channels for analog customers?

Don't know about snow, but here in lightning country we lose cable service regularly; and it's usually due to some lightning strike near or on one of their pieces of equipment.

Nothing's perfect.

It's all you (the general "you" not specifically you) republicans who push so hard for deregulation of everything, and then you (again general "you" not specifically you) are surprised when the companies don't treat you well.

I have a monthly subscription ReplayTV and I had the same problem. The clock took a hit and it is a doorstop until it can call home and verify that you did not let the subscription lapse.

No problem like that with TiVo; in fact, it's a common practice for truckers to buy the models with very large hard drives (2 of them if they're always on the road), and load it up with shows they record, then take it on long haul trips with them to watch on the trip.

In my opinion, I've gotten more value for my dollar out of my TiVo than any other piece of electronics I can remember buying.
