Andy Baio : TiVo adds copyright protection, blocks transfers, and auto-deletes some shows - this is a terrible move; I feel personally betrayed as an evangelist of their product since 2000
jkottke : TiVo hates its customers - TiVo's new OS adds content "protection", which means if the copyright holder of Seinfeld wants your TiVo to delete the show after a week whether you've watched it or not, that's what it's going to do. I love my TiVo and I'm currently suffering from outrag [via]
