Tivo Institutes 1 Year Service Contracts 332
azoblue writes "TiVo recently changed their customer agreement, allowing them to institute service contracts with early cancellation fees." From the article: "According to the new service agreement, any TiVo activated after September 6 will require a 12-month commitment. Those who cancel before the end of their contract, or have their contracts terminated by TiVo, will be forced to pay a $150 early termination fee ... Although not specified in the new agreement, some customers have reported that adding a new TiVo to their service makes contracts activated before that date also applicable to the new policy."

I'm sorry, if you think that's the only difference -- then you haven't really used a Tivo. Season Passes and Wishlists are worth the cost alone. If you get a DVD Burning model (Humax), then there is absolutely no comparison. Record your shows and save them to DVD for on the road or later viewing.
Scientific Atlanta is the Geo Metro of PVRs. Yes, the Tivo costs more in both upfront and service, but you get what you pay for. Scientific Atlanta is a big giant turd as far as I'm concerned. They put out substandard crap that people accept because they don't realize that they shouldn't have to struggle with their PVR (they think it's just the norm).
