If it were just me
I could already get Lost and now that Apple has added The Daily Show and the Multi-Pass option I really don’t have any pressing need for cable or a Tivo, except perhaps for the occasional special event such as the Super Bowl, though I could put one of those old-fangled whadayacallits on my roof…. antennas? Yeah one of those.
Of course the wife and kids would probably have something to say about that. There may come a time, however, where the iTMS could satisfy all of our television viewing needs. Did I say needs? OK probably not as important as eating or sleeping, I’ll go with: wants. The question is, will they be able to do it affordably? I wouldn’t have thought so, but with Tivo raising their prices and my cable bill inexorably creeping higher and higher, maybe so. I figure I could spend $70 a month in video at the iTMS and be better off than the current arrangement with Tivo and Comcast.
and that whole Tivo price change comes right on the cusp of me looking to finally buy a PVR.
Damn them. Daaaaaamn them!
