You’re right, as demonstrates. It isn’t obtrusive when it’s behind a cut and I don’t object to it being here, but I hadn’t seen one posted here before, so I thought it was a little odd.

I tried clicking around the TiVo website a bit looking for subscription information and came up short. Yet again TiVo’s vaunted usability doesn’t quite live up to the hype. For anyone who wants to subscribe, I would guess that sending email to editor@tivo.com might be the thing to do.

I’ve looked on TiVo’s website for the subscription information, but can’t find it.

I am a DirecTiVo subscriber, so I don’t have an account directly with TiVo…

Well, I figure not everyone who is interested in TiVo necessarily even knows about the news letter. I’ve known TiVo owners who didn’t seem to know about it, and people who are just curious about TiVo and aren’t owners can pop in here.

I put things like this behind a cut so they’re less obtrusive on friends pages.

I agree that this edition of the newsletter was less interesting that many of the past editions.

Surely anyone in this community who wants to read this is already a subscriber?

This is actually a less useful than usual edition of News You Can Use. The one a few issues back with information on how to access extended information on programs (full cast list, episode numbers, etc.) was a lot better.
