    You are brainwashed by the government. The government is consolodating all media, they will have control over 100% of all tv broadcasts when digital cable is the only standard. This is the way how they can shape their propoganda to suit the needs of none other than the cia. By knowing the watching patterns of all the people with a tivo, they will infiltrate the programs they are watching the most and insert their propoganda into those shows. This is an instrument of slavery and nothing else. Remember tivo uses AI to figure out what someone wants to watch, this will only improve in the future! Don't say that you weren't warned. If I had a Tivo, I would get rid of it and boycott it for life.
