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.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

But you're paying a monthly fee to TiVo, right?

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Me too!

Now tagless for your comfort.
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.
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.

How do I edit text in a jpg?

You'd have to use some kind of image-editing software to erase what's there and replace it. It's not like the text is stored separately -- it's part of the graphic.

Name some image-editing software.
I've been asked to edit a jpg and I'm not sure I have the proper programs to do that.

I bought three years of Tivo Service when I hooked up my TiVo, should I wait until the last year of that for a lifetime service offer, or will they discount me now for what I've already paid?

Photoshop? PaintShopPro?
You might be able to do it with MS Paint, but it depends what the original graphic looks like and how good the end result needs to look.
