Monthly fee for V.3

[linear]

Is there going to be a monthly fee to get the tv listings in V. 3?

Nope, the monthly fee seems to be for Snapstream.NET an addtional product that adds better guide support among other things more TIVO like and better integration within the product. TitanTV (a free service) will still be an option for those that do not purchase the fee based service. I heard from somebody that they are planning to be charge $5/month or $50/year for the service.

To my knowledge this stuff has not been officially announced, but pjesephson 'might' be right or in the ball park -- ss.net can do quite a bit the other EPGS can't do, mainly b/c it's directed for use specifically with snapstream --- but you will have the other EPG options still, such as TitanTV, digiguide etc...

The price may have not been announced officially but your own web site has an article (review) about version 3.0 which states the upcoming price. So I am assume the reporter had some help from marketing or management concerning the proposed price structure.

Here is the link to the review (original link was on your site news)about version 3 with Snapstream.Net price info.

Hope somebody is working on that PVR-250 integration

This is true -- I read the same review -- I suppose if a reviewer has it, you can 'probably' count on that.

--- but you know, I'm never quite sure of what I 'can' and 'can't' mention
