Really? I hadn't heard that ... I am sure they don't *like* it, but I didn't know they equated it with stealing. If they (the cable providers) do think it's stealing though, it's kinda funny that I can fast forward through commercials on the DVR that Time Warner is leasing me (for a couple bucks a month, so it's not like they're making up for potentially lost advertising revenue that way). You'd think they'd disable that, if they found it hateful...

It does, but Jeff's TIVO at least, was out of warranty anyway (it's "ancient" by TIVO standards).

Perhaps true, but I can say that about most of the technology I love. If my PDA crapped out, for instance, I'd be quite unable to function (though, of course, the data is backed up).
