RCA PVR Will Use Free Guide+ Program Guide
Mark Leighton Fisher writes "RCA has announced (among other CES goodies) a PVR/DVD player for this year that uses the free GUIDE Plus+ program guide rather than requiring an oncoming program guide contract. Once we bring the price down (yes, I work there) I may break down and get one, as I don't like the program guide fee required on current PVRs. (This may be the first no-program guide-fee commercial PVR.)"
"Great! Let me know where I can go to a website and see every Steve Martin movie that is coming up in the next two weeks, with specific channel numbers, dates, and times."

"And which website was it where I could go and click on MOVIES, and then type in "Steve Martin", and have it record all of those movies automatically?"

"That is why I pay TiVo $4.95 a month."
I'd give you a more detailed answer if you weren't being so overly-sensitive about a legitimate complaint. Last thing I need is for some jackass to get all heated at me because they think I'm attacking their precious TiVo.
I just can't feel anypity for a website that still in this day and age thinks it can make money from banner or other types of ads.
Either charge for the service or stop whining.
The direct-tv version of the Tivo recorder is $5/mo. Please read for comprehension next time.
