Behind the cut to spare those who don’t care…

Well, the past day has been interesting, with people freaking out all over the blogosphere because TiVo raised a couple of rates, most of them by a trivial amount – oh yeah, and dropped more than twice as many as they raised. But people still think the sky is falling. *sigh* Lots of trying to explain basic math over the past day.

Anyway, TiVoPony posted at TiVoCommunity.com to clarify a couple of points. If you currently have a box at the $6.95 MSD rate, it will remain at the $6.95 MSD rate unless you change the status of the account (like canceling service).

If you transfer lifetime to a Series3, then after the year of free service on the old box expires, it will be eligible for the $6.95 MSD rate.

If you normally record The Daily Show and/or The Colbert Report, note that this Tuesday they’ve been replaced with “The Daily Show and the Colbert Report Present the Midterm Midtacular” – election coverage. Your standard Season Passes will not record this, you’ll need to setup the recording separately.

Just a heads up.
