Good deal on an HD Tivo [and now a 50" Plasma TV!!]

I have Time Warner here, and I suppose I will be complaining too when I eventually get HD. Right now I just bitch about how there's no way to get what you record from the DVR to other digital storage. I lost a bunch of stuff when I moved and turned in my old one. I even tried the record to VHS last-ditch option and it didn't work.

In France, I paid slightly over 30 Euro a month for internet, cable and phone, including free long distance to the US and New Zealand. They also have the option of a la carte channel selection, which I so wish we had here. Oh, and the cable box had a hard drive that allowed you to upload the recording to a PC if you wanted.

FWIW, we have TW as our HD service provider and on that alone I have no complaints.

Actually, I have a complaint against one of the two satellite companies: on the Thursday before the middle weekend of the Olympics, one of our neighbors had satellite installed (we live in a condo). Their installer started randomly unplugging lines until he found the one he needed. TW service technician had to some out to discover that (the boxes are locked - I can't access them).
