Am I the only one who thinks that this article as much an advert as anythng else?
I thought they weren't allowed?

Perhaps the real issue is what is it an advert for - TiVo or Buffy The Vampire Slayer?
Seriously though, this seems to be more of a product review than an endorsement. Like if someone wrote about their broken headphones.

It's still pretty much an advert - and a fairly US-centric one at that, frankly. Do UK cable companies supply their scheduling information to TiVo users? Or is the thing just a glorified VCR for UK users?
On the other hand, it did tell me one thing I didn't know - I assumed that "TiVo" was a brand, like say "Handycam", which only one manufacturer produced. I didn't know until reading this that several companies make them. So in fairness, it's a review of a product type rather than a specific product. It's still a bit US centric, though...

It's an advert, and I'm "yikes"ing it as such
