Now, I love my Tivo, it has a great interface, easy to use, intuitive, and a great concept all together.

I believe their major flaw is the "expensive" subscription. Why do they charge so much a month?

All the data for T.V. shows already exists, all they had to do is to create a network for distributing the data, and if their new products connect to the internet, the cost of having a phone center to handle this becomes irrelevant.

They should drop their monthly fees considerably, as I am sure some of their initial expenses should have been covered by now. They have a great product with a great following, it's their fees that seem to be the deal breaker for most.
