For those of you who dont know, when you have a TiVo hooked up to your television, you aren't watching "live" TV. You are watching TV from about 1 second earlier. This is required for of the ability to pause or rewind live TV.
This can cause problems. I have Digital Cable from TW which offers Dolby Digital 5.1 surround on some channels and I have a high end audio system. Because TiVo does not have digital audio out nor support for it, I literally have to discontinue to EVER watch a show in digital 5.1 surround because of that 1 second lag in between live TV and Tivo TV. The audio and video aren't synced up.
Also, because you are not watching live TV, video quality suffers even on "best" recording mode. The bigger your TV, the more you will notice. Mine is 65" so I notice quite a bit.
I think most everyone who reads slashdot would be in agreement that NSI holding on to domains is a bad thing. So instead of asking what everyone thinks about this and beating a dead horse, lets offer some alternatives and solutions.
Like, a boycott of NSI. Lets do some research into other registrars, find out which are the good ones, and use them instead. Also, getting the world out about NSI and it's tactics would be a another way.

I sold mine for $50 dollars. They will buy anything on that site. They will buy the boogers out of your nose. They will get into a bidding war for it.
