TiVo Service Cost Rising

Posted by timothy on from the now-how-much-would-you-pay dept.

evil_one writes: "Shortly after the article on ReplayTV mods, comes this story about TiVo cost increases." A 30% increase in the cost of TiVo service will probably affect a lot of readers -- and might just make the hassle of a homebrewed PVR a little more attractive. Of course, TiVo service is what makes a TiVo more attractive than a plain recorder anyhow.

    Warning! There is a new exploit in IE6 that can be used to run any file on a user's hard drive as long as you know the path. Information on this exploit can found here.

    A patch from Microsoft is forthcoming. In the meantime, use the information on that site to protect yourself.

      A fix has been available for about a week, and proper notifications have been sent out via the regular channels. (NTBugTraq and of course Microsoft's regular security bulletins.)

      If you use IE you've got to keep on top of these things. Really, no matter what software you use you should keep on top of these things.

    Dammit.

    When will the RPM based distributions let me update my system by something like "rpm-get upgrade"?!

    I mean Debian sucks goat's dick in general usability (at least when compared to Mandrake) but in upgradeability it is in a class of its own. What's holding the RPM guys back?

      hella offtopic but you can use Conectiva Linux which has an RPM port of apt. I just used it today to upgrade KDE.

    I remember trying it on my RedHat computer, but as far as I can remember you couldn't use the real RedHat mirrors as source.
