If you have a TIVO record Dan Rather's shows
TIVO knows what you are recording (that's how they send suggestions lists). That info gets out there.

I am connected to the company. It is not a big brother thing, more like marketing and advertising info.

3. Not your company but do you know if Dish via PVR does the same thing?

6. I have Dish hooked up to my TIVO.
The technology is different (phone vs satellite), so I doubt it - but I'm not certain, maybe someone else is.

9. You mean that TIVO transmits through telephone lines?
The PVR that I have (which is like TIVO) is connected to DISH, we use satellite.

10. Yes, the TIVO 'phones home' once a day -
generally 2-5 am, and gets updated info.

5. I want a Tivo
Sadly, they don't have a dirt-poor student married to a dirt-poor student discount.

12. We've always tivo'd both CBS news and 60 minutes and 60 min. II (m)
I'm glad to hear that

I sent another email yesterday saying that I still trust him more than any other newscaster for my news, and that I will continue to watch CBS news, etc.

13. I have sent multiple e-mails too
Another thread earlier said that on the Olberman show they discussed the fact that Rather's ratings were up 14%.
