A quick update to the entry earlier this week on the new TiVo DVD-R. They’re associated with two levels of TiVo service. The models come with TiVo “Basic” included, which is a stripped-down version of what we’re all used to. Basic includes, well, the very basic features: record functions and a three-day program guide. So conceivably, one could get the new machine and not pay out-of-pocket for the service, but it’s not much more than a stand-alone VCR, as far as the TiVo functionality is concerned. TiVo “Plus” is identical in features and pricing to the current TiVo service that we’ve come to know and love. Capisce?

Wow—if it hadn’t been for this post, I would quite possibly have gone to my grave without ever knowing how to spell “capisce.” Now, that… um… won’t happen.
