What percentage of Tivo customers are upset that they can't hack their Tivo?
I don't care that I cannot hack my Tivo.
I do care that the current system allows Tivo to change my system's features at any time, without my permission
I paid fully for both my system and the lifetime schedule data. I should decided whether I want to accept a change to my hardware or not. Today I do not have that option. It's entirely possible that Tivo will choose to revoke a current feature of my system at some future date. That is unacceptable to me, and I should have the right to over ride any update to the system.
