Or Schedules Direct? Or even their data supplier?

That's the old go after the gun makers because their products MIGHT be 
used in a crime theory.

I don't know why TiVo decided to go after DISH. DirectTV also offers 
DVRs, and they are bigger than DISH (16 million vs. 13 million subs).

Why only dual-tuner units? What's to stop me from simply buying two 
single-tuner units? Or the 7 that I own?

I understand MCE systems in the USA are limited to 2 tuners, and those 
systems sold overseas are limited to 1 tuner.

I wonder if Microsoft saw this coming?
