It wasn't entirely unexpected, but Tivo have announced that they will cease to offer their Tivo Series 1 service around the beginning of June. The boxes will be able to play back previously recorded programs and *may* be able to record programs if they are set manually. The EPG (which is, for me, the core of Tivo) will not be available.
They have said that they stopped charging for the service in November 2010.
