I thought a huge part of the justification for the annual or monthly fee was that they were providing the hardware at a subsidized price. I don't see anything there that justifies the service cost. The other part of the justification is the cost of managing the listings, but I have a different PVR system and it gets a TitanTV account for free.
I imagine there are people that will buy this, but I don't see the value. A hardware-complete dual tuner TiVo is $150, and they want $200 for this unit that still needs a computer to work? It doesn't say if it's a single or dual tuner device.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.

I really hope they cut the price for the PC users. They could get a ton more buyers if True2Way makes it to the PC.
