almost a good idea

Of all the people you know, who is probably most excited about the news that TiVo will soon let subscribers use their Verizon phones to remotely set up a recording that they forgot? Still not sure? Please click on Exhibit A and Exhibit B. It's me! Or at least I thought it was until I heard that they will probably charge $5 a month for the added service. C'mon! $60 a year for the one or two times I forget to set up the TiVo? There has to be a better way.
