Oh cool.
Thanks guys!
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

Who hooks up your Tivo? Does it just come in a box with instructions or do you get a service person to do it?
If you're talking about one of the new HD TiVOs, you'll probably need the cable guy to come around and install the cable cards. Unless you only want to receive OTA HD signals.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yup--cable guy hooked mine up. That's what the instructions say to do, and the anti-monopoly directions say they should without balking.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Thanks, guys! I'm pretty sure they'll come out and hook it up--for a fee. But I'll call them just to be sure.

You're already at HD, Cash? They might, then. Mine didn't since I was switching to HD at the time and it was all the one effort.

RCN didn't charge me a setup fee either, but I was also upgrading to digital cable at the time. They do charge me $1.50/month for each of the two cablecards ($3/month total), in addition to the digital cable charge, but I save money by not needing a cable box.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
but I save money by not needing a cable box.
But you're paying a monthly fee to TiVo, right?

Nope -- I got a lifetime subscription, baby!
Which they are now offering again.

Yeah, we're already HD. I think the combination of renting the DVR + their monthly service fee for the DVR "package" comes to somthing like $22/month, so the Tivo deal with the lifetime subscription should pay for itself over the life of the machine.
