This really isn't a big deal IMO & has been poorly 
reported/sensationalised in this piece. The sampler episode described 
appears as an extra entry on the main menu. I was a bit taken aback 
when I first saw it, but then realised that it might actually be a 
good thing. My TIVO viewing habits are such that I now *never* sit 
down to "watch TV", only to watch something that has recorded.
That 
inevitably means that I rely on word-of-mouth to hear about new 
programmes that might interest me rather than happening to stumble 
across them. If TIVO push the *occasional* promo programme at me, 
it's not intrusive, and I can decide within the first few minutes of 
viewing whether or not its worth watching - really no harm done.
