is Tivo worth it if you have cable?

[rudeguy]

just wondering if its worth it to get Tivo if you have cable. I am thinking about picking up one of these.

Also, has anyone ever used the basic service for Tivo without paying for the service?

TIVO without the the premium service is just like a tapeless VCR IIRC.

Hell yes, but it's pointless unless you get the service.

DO IT!
