Maybe you guys can explain Tivo to me. The Tivo itself has a hard drive in it to store the shows. What is the monthly fee for? See, I'm cheap that way on the monthly fees. I'd be happy to spend a few hundred on the Tivo but...

Well, I don't have Tivo exactly, I have the Dish PVR that came with my Dish Network, and I don't think we get charged monthly for it.

 

The monthly charge is for the programming service. In otherwords, Tivo works like an intelligent VCR, it gets updates and schedules of TV programming in your area, and it costs money to offer this service. DSS subscribers already get this in their dish systems, so it isn't as big a deal.

 

I'm pretty sure you can pay up front for a lifetime subscription, or you can pay the monthly fee.

 

But I'm no expert :)
