Calling Out TiVo

Why is it that the networks (NBC and CBS at least) are partnering up with them? I've seen a few shows (CSI?) on CBS that have little UltimateTV banners at the beginning. Uh, hello? If the network regarded these things as Dvorak does, why would they choose to advertise them?
Also on my Tivo box when I see ads for NBC shows it shows a Tivo icon on the screen that allows me to record the show automatically... just hit select while the icon is on the screen and that show is added to the to-do list.
Also, there's plenty of pay tv (HBO for example) that isn't supported by advertising $$... so does Mr. Dvorak have a problem with me taping the Sopranos to watch after my kids have gone to bed?... give me a break...
