TiVo in dock after new Discovery. "A personal video service that promised to revolutionise TV by remembering to record viewers' favourite programmes has been accused of Big Brother tactics after it programmed viewers' video recorders to automatically tape shows on the Discovery Channel...

US subscribers have discovered that their box is automatically switched to the Discovery Channel two nights a week to download commercials and trailers and when they switch their TV on the following morning, it is tuned to Discovery." Guardian UK [Follow Me Here...]
Now, as far as I can tell, this is crap. My Tivo hasn't downloaded anything that I didn't tell it to download (you can tell it to automatically download its recommendations, but I turned that off), nor does it seem to be tuned to the Discovery Channel in the morning. How strange; this is the second time I can recall seeing something about the Tivo that was contrary to my experience..

Yow, but there are some great prices here. Like I needed to see this; I'd buy myself an iBook in a heartbeat if I wasn't so responsble.
