They just like you can not work for free, so pay more now or more latter! All of us will pay more. Get something free from Ford or Chev lately? I hear they arent making a profet and prices have went from 1200 to 20,000 in the last 60 years because they gave to many features away.ohbears said:I gotta sat I am on this guys side, why would a company issue a product that does not have a key feature or from what I have heard and read full of bugs. D* needs to be held accountable for not being able to to provide what it's competitors can. For failing to make nice with Tivo the have to come up with a product that meets a comptitive edge. Sounds like so far they have failed. They have to pay extra to keep customers.
