Ferrari Mailing List: Re: [nfc] Tivo and DirecTV

[Jason Polzer (jason]

Steve,

I'm not sure how they caught me since I always went through someone 
else.  I'll do it myself this time and hopefully fare better.  Sometime 
I think Canada = Russia with better neighbours.

You would think DirecTV would turn a blind eye and be happy with the 
extra revenue. In my neighbourhood every fourth dish is a DirecTV dish.  
Everyone has to re-subscribe once in a while, we are used to it.  I 
predict many won't re-subscribe if they now lose DirecTivo.  Perhaps 
that's what DirecTV wants.

Best regards,

Jason
