FiOS Anticipation

I'm sorry it has been a while since my last post.

Tomorrow is the big day. My wife and I have our Tivo intervention hosted by big bad Verizon. It is going to be a hard breakup. I have had Tivo since 1999, when it was only sold on an infomercial. My wife learned about and became addictted to Tivo when we started dating. It is the one piece of technology we agree on. She has hardly noticed to 20" wide screen monitor. We went to DirectTV specifically to get the integrated DirectTivo when they first came out. We now have two.

Last night, we were getting ready for bed, and my wife exclaimed, "Oh my God, we have to watch all of our shows...'they' are going to take the Tivos!" I assured her that no one is taking the Tivos, that we own them, and I will hook them up after the FiOS install so that we can watch the recorded shows we have not seen. She exhaled and was much more relaxed.

I am trying to be the strong one and hide my fears from my my wife. The scariest thing is that we signed a 2 year agreement with Verizon. If we want to break that contract they are going to want our first born child. I know that if this does not go well she is going to take it out on me.

I'm scared! :P

There is hope with the release of the new HD Tivo. However, it may be a while before you can get a cable card out of Verizon.
