[quote=Anonymous]Not that PP, but I think the point is that RCN offers set-top boxes with the tivo software. However, the way most people get tivo is by buying their own tivo box (from best buy or tivo.com), paying a subscription fee to tivo, and then hooking it up the tv. The current tivos will accept a "cablecard"-- a small card that you rent from the cable co. to decode the cable signal in place of renting a set-top box. Tivo gets the tv schedule over the internet if you buy a little wireless adapter (used to be over the phone, but not sure if that's still an option). Because tivo is selling you both the box and the subscription, they have different price packages, depending on whether you want to pay more for the box or more for the subscription. I think if you pay $50 for the box, then you pay $13/month for the first tivo (and less for a 2d tivo). [/quote]
