  No doubt TiVo has long since released its proverbial ATRAC codec, but it is so bad now that every time we hear about a TiVo offer, we click on through to find the super lame catch. Of course this time is no different as TiVo is offering up to $100 off a TiVo HD to existing Series 1 or 2 owners. So you probably figured out the catch by now, which is that if you have lifetime on your existing TiVo, you can’t transfer it. If you log in and try the site actually suggests you give away your older TiVo or recycle it. It seems that TiVo knows there aren’t any alternatives so what are you going to do if you’re treated like crap? It’s not like there are any comparable acceptable alternatives.

  News of another delay should be absolutely no surprise to anyone that’s followed the details of this case, as DISH was granted a stay by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit pending its appeal of a $190 million ruling in favor of TiVo which will allow its customers to continue using their DVRs, at least for now. For its part, TiVo repeated its praise of the “thorough and well-reasoned decision finding EchoStar in contempt of court for violating the injunction and awarding further damages” and is confident the ruling will be upheld, again. Did anyone really think this one would just end so easily?
