"The Super Bowl half-time exposure of singer Janet Jacksons breast was the most re-watched piece of viewing in TiVo history, according to TiVo Inc."

THIS is the main reason I will never own a TIVO no matter how much better than my 508 you tell me it is. My 508 does not know what I have repeated, froze or otherwised gawked at or the porn err channel I was watching. Talk about big brother watching you.

Indeed. Although, according to TiVo, they only collect zip code information along with what you watched/replayed. And, there is an "opt out" option, I guess. Although, I don't think most people know that -- but, that's what they get for not reading the fine print. :)

I thought that the only the SA Tivos reported back viewing. The D* Tivo's do not need to be hooked up to a phone line, so you could at least keep any outgoing communication from returning to Tivo.
