Actually, it's easier than that. I have a series 1 TiVo that lost it's modem to lightening. I bought an external modem, plugged it into my TiVo's serial port, and now I have a working TiVo again.
You have to set a few dip switches or plug the modem into your computer and send it a few commands first, and change some numbers in TiVo's dialing options, but even the technically uninclined should be able to handle this.
(I won't say Americans, since the US is not the only country on this continent)
America is not a continent. North America is a continent. South America is a seperate continent. Generally, "America" is used as a shorter way of saying "the United States of America." Just as "China" is a shorter way of saying, "the People's Republic of China."
So while it's ok to say "people from the People's Republic of China," or "people from the United States of America," most people will probably continue to say "Chinese" and "Americans." And they're right, too.
There is a way to enable that, but it takes the place of your Skip-to-End button. I haven't tried it myself, but I think you just press Select-Play-Select-3-0-Select. That and more codes and backdoors can be found here.

TiVo Introduces Series2
·
· Score: 2, Informative
RealNetworks' RealOne Player will be integrated into all TiVo Series2 DVRs, enabling TiVo subscribers to create and manage their music collection on TiVo's hard disc and subscribe to RealNetworks' RealOne Music service. RealOne Music will enable TiVo customers to download and stream music from the music catalogs of major and independent labels, listen to more than 2,000 Internet radio stations and view artist and album information. TiVo users will have the option to activate the RealOne Player when they activate the TiVo Service for an incremental monthly subscription fee.
Even things as simple as pay phones. You can't swipe a credit card in almost all of Bell Atlantic's pay phones. Any the pay phones don't have digital display. In canada, you can not only swipe your credit card on the phone, but you can buy a smartcard to use the phone at any corner store.
I suspect that the reason there isn't much interest in making fancy, expensive pay phones in the US, is because most people are using cell phones.
Sorry about holding you in a US Jail all that time!
"He was freed on bail in August," according to the article. He wasn't allowed to leave Northern California though, and I'm sure he wanted to go home to his family.
I disagree. Many people with TiVo-like devices, including myself, have no problem watching a show an hour after it came on. If the show is something I really want to see as soon as it's on, I'll still wait fifteen minutes before turning it on. That way I get to skip all the commercials, and by the end of the show, I've almost caught up to real time.
Some people never watch live TV once they get a TiVo, and some just use it as a VCR. I almost never see commercials anymore.
Unless you want to do some hacking, you can't manually change the time. However you don't need the service to set the time. An unsubscribed TiVo will still call home if it's plugged in. When it calls in it will set the time and upgrade to the latest version.
Unsubscribed TiVo owners who don't want to upgrade to later versions but do want to set the time on their TiVos let their TiVo call in and then cancel the call before it gets upgraded.

Just a minor point, but City of Heroes characters with claws have three claws, like Wolverine.
Here are a few pictures of one with her claws out.
Or what if teams started paying money to get better players? Then the team with the most money would win!

Nothing like an ant trying to sue a giant.It's not often you see someone refer to Microsoft as an ant.

Now, they've started adding pre-taped video segments (filling up my hard drive, I assume) of BMW ads.
Those ads use space that was already set aside by TiVo. They do not use up any space that you could use.
close to 300 dollars and get it for life.
$250.
There is a check box that lets you turn the music in Civ3 on or off.

The latest version of TiVo allows you to hit a +30 second button. It's sort of a hack/easter egg thing, but it's there.

Not the nicest solution, but it works.

Completely offtopic, but why?
Why do Americans use 1,234 and (some? all?) others use 1.234? What was the original form, and how did it change?
Funny. Not troll.
