Greetings;
I have a problem which I was hoping that someone could help me with. Recently I got a TIVO series 2 DVR, and so made plans to use it as a fancy VCR without bothering with subscribing to what I assumed would be superfluous features. I used it for a week, but a few days ago a subscription message popped up indicating that I needed to sign up for service if I wanted the DVR to continue working. It now only woks in ‘Live TV’ mode, and I can’t even use simple VCR recording features with it - essentially, a glorified paperweight. It does not make any sense to pay for service when simple VCR features of the DVR are clearly not a service but a part of the functionality of the device, just like the would be in a DVR. The $300 DVR has already been paid for - what is the point in me subscribing? I cannot return the device since the distributor does not accept returns unless defective, which apparently it isn’t. I’m not a hacker, but I just what to use my TIVO as a fancy VCR.
