I'm glad to find out I'm not alone. I'd like to find a group of
people dedicated to solving this problem. Most posts I find are

to pay for my satellite service for the premium channels (as it is
football season) but I want to use myth instead of my lousy tivo. I
looked through the past postings concerning 169time and share the
frustration with their product, but right now it seems like the only
solution.
Some additional info... I wrote to 169time and they were kind enough
to write back. For what it's worth, here is the transcript...
