Hah. Well, Christmas present #1 turns out to be a total and utter failure. Leave it to me to buy something without doing a shred of research first...
I bought my Dad a 30-hour Tivo for Christmas. Problem is, he lives in Canada, and it turns out the stupid thing makes a call to the info-line every day to update its internal information. WELL, that call would be a long distance one from Canada! Oh, the humanity. Call me a moron...or better yet, a goron. One of the rock-eaters from Zelda, not the political variant of the species...
So the question is now: anyone want a 30-hour Tivo? I can only give it to you for what i bought it for ($255) but you get a $100 rebate as soon as you activate the thing. Any takers? I'll even pay shipping on that bad boy.
