[vox] Tivo question

[Peter Jay Salzman]

i'm curious:

a) what are some of the things you can do with a tivo without tivo
service?

b) what are some of the services you lose when you use a tivo without
the tivo service?

never really considered getting one, but it does sound like a fun thing
to monkey with.
