Wow, you're really smart. Of course all that book-learnin' doesn't mean you aren't kind of stupid too.
The IMDB Entry shows that the actual title of the film is La Battaglia di Maratona, with a handful of "also known as" entries. Take up your translation complaints with the original US distributors.
As has been stated, you must not have Comcast. There is so much advertising on their guide page now that each "page" only holds about four lines of actual programming information. Occasionally I'll notice the marketing buttons on the main screen, but a double-click of the TiVo button takes me to Now Playing so quickly that they really make no difference. They're not stealing room on the screen from anything else.
If you didn't like TiVo "filling the drive" then it would have been a simple matter of choosing to NOT record suggestions. Me, I like suggestions. They found Pete and Pete for me.
As far as support, I guess I've never really needed any. The box works. However, I've never felt frustrated by their website. You want a twisty maze of web pages, all different, try Sprint PCS. They define abysmal.
BTW, do you ever buy a newspaper or magazine? Holy crap, there are ads in there! Pay to ride the subway? OMG, more ads. Pay to go to the movies? Jeez, they're everywhere. Trying to single out TiVo as some horrible violator of your principles just doesn't wash.
I'm sure the fine folks at weaknees.com will have a high capacity version. They already have a Series 3 with a 1TB disk -- $1399, stated capacity 144 hours HD.
Ford: You'd better prepare yourself for the jump into hyperspace. It's unpleasantly like being drunk. Arthur: What's so unpleasant about being drunk? Ford: You ask a glass of water.
You know, before I answer any more questions there's something I wanted to say. Having received all your letters over the years, and I've spoken to many of you, and some of you have traveled... y'know... hundreds of miles to be here, I'd just like to say... GET A LIFE, will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it's just a [file system]! I mean, look at you, look at the way you're dressed! You've turned an enjoyable little job, that I did as a lark for a few years, into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME!
Off topic: Please tell somebody that having children read the community calendar isn't "cute," it's annoying. Or at least train the kids in how to read copy (although that could go for some of the on-air personnel as well). Indie radio doesn't have to be amateurish radio.
It's just coincidence, dude. What if the call had come in exactly two minutes and twelve seconds after you hung up, would that make you suspicious? Or two hours, fourteen minutes and six seconds?
Doesn't that tinfoil hat interfere with the cordless phone reception?
In my area (greater Richmond, VA), Comcast did indeed just remove HBO completely from the analog portion of their service; you are now required to have a digital box (and associated subscription package) to get HBO. I have to believe they did this elsewhere as well.
They had first planned on making this change as of June 1, but there was a bit of an outcry from Sopranos fans, so they had to wait until after that series finale.
TFS calls her both an "industry insider" and a "journalist," but I can't see any evidence of either. She's a blogger with a complaint about Comcast - something not in short supply. She's not really a very good writer either, but that's another topic...
Damn kid. You made me break my self-imposed rule of not clicking through to computerworld's ad-impression inflation articles, and I come back to find that my fellow old fogies have given you a good schoolin' on what an acoustic coupler is anyway. Remember, all phones (in the US at least) back in the day were made by the Western Electric division of AT&T (the real AT&T, not the rebranded SBC), and so it was easy to know just what size and shape to make those rubber cups.

If your wife likes Japanese monster films, I'd choose any of the Gamera movies.
I'm also a great fan of The Amazing Colossal Man:
Glen Manning: I don't want to grow any more!
Joel: I'm a Toys R Us kid!
I don't think jokes are able to have sexual relations of any kind.

Remind me not to go to the movies with you.
Jeez, if it weren't for the host segments, I wouldn't be able to cryptically declare "Nobody gets me baby, I'm the wind" and opportune moments.
Sample my fist you community theater reject!

I think I see the flaw in your plan.

So are we talking caveman ancient, or more recent, like maybe the time of the Battle of Thermopylae?

90GB is the difference in disk capacities between the current Series 3 and this new unit. The capacity stated in TFA is 20 hours HD.
And TiVo "jumped on the HD bandwagon" several months ago, when the Series 3 first came out.
You can have a little bit of Dead Like Me.
Merriam-Webster seems to be of two minds on this subject.

Sounds like a problem exists with allowing access to production systems by people who shouldn't have access to production systems.

Well, you see, 49 is a square number, so that makes it good. Plus, it's the square of 7, which is really really good. Not six, seven!

You know. That old children's tale. From. The sea?

If they don't keep IP logs, they'll simply have to turn over their RAM.
