I called TiVo today to see what the status of my order was and they said my order was cancelled due to an error with my credit card.  Of course, no one called or emailed me to tell me this.  I declined to make a new order and just called Abt for a pick up order.  Now I just hope the reports of TiVo allowing lifetime subscription transfers on retail boxes is true. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[shamste]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 16th 2006 2:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Why you shouldn't order your Series3 from TiVo.com]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/16/why-you-shouldnt-order-your-series3-from-tivo-com/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/16/why-you-shouldnt-order-your-series3-from-tivo-com/</guid><description><![CDATA[I had a feeling that would happen.

I tried cancelling and they told me it was impossible.  "Let me get this straight..." I said "It hasn't shipped, but I can't cancel my order."  "Yes, that's right, they replied."  Lame, having to pay for something that hasn't even left the warehouse yet.  Guess I'll just have to wait.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Popstand]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 16th 2006 8:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Why you shouldn't order your Series3 from TiVo.com]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/16/why-you-shouldnt-order-your-series3-from-tivo-com/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/16/why-you-shouldnt-order-your-series3-from-tivo-com/</guid><description><![CDATA[That's not good.  And it certainly doesn't help customer relations.<br><br>You should without a doubt be able to cancel any item that has not shipped.  If they ship it to you anyway, after you indicated you wanted to cancel the order, you should NOT be liable for any charges incured, if the item is returned. <br><br>It's such a waste of time to ship an unwanted item only to have to go through the hassle of returning it.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Filme]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 16th 2006 8:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Why you shouldn't order your Series3 from TiVo.com]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/16/why-you-shouldnt-order-your-series3-from-tivo-com/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/16/why-you-shouldnt-order-your-series3-from-tivo-com/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's actually against federal law for a mail order company to not honor a cancellation request before an item ships.  In this case, Tivo.com is considered a mail order company.  You can rest assured that there will be fines levied by the government for this one.  I am one person who is reporting them.  Yes, I have a bit of an attorney in me.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Eric NIX]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 16th 2006 9:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Why you shouldn't order your Series3 from TiVo.com]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/16/why-you-shouldnt-order-your-series3-from-tivo-com/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/16/why-you-shouldnt-order-your-series3-from-tivo-com/</guid><description><![CDATA[One potentially good reason to order from TiVo direct -- TiVo appears to be saying that the special $199 lifetime subscription transfer for Series 1 and 2 owners will only be honored for Series 3 units bought direct from TiVo. That's why I'm waiting patiently for mine to come direct from the TiVo mothership.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fred von Lohmann]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 16th 2006 9:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Why you shouldn't order your Series3 from TiVo.com]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/16/why-you-shouldnt-order-your-series3-from-tivo-com/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/16/why-you-shouldnt-order-your-series3-from-tivo-com/</guid><description><![CDATA[Fred - That is moot now. Plenty have reported that they have transferred their lifetime subscription despite purchasing their Series 3 at retail.

Leave a not for UPS/USPS/FedEx that you're rejecting the shipment from TiVo. Too bad if they don't like it. They can't charge you for it, and if they try your credit card company will smack them down.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jake]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 17th 2006 12:14AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
