It's not a bad feature if you have a child who you want to protect from the junk on TV. Obviously, without a child this feature is kind of useless. I had hoped that they would mention somehting about the Series 3 TiVo :(.
That's the big announcement? Talk about weaksauce.
I know nothing of Common Sense Media but the PTC just plain sucks, this one tiny group is responsible for 99.8% of all FCC complaints and in effect controls what all of the U.S. is allowed to watch on broadcast TV or listen to on the radio.
At least this service seems to aim put the control in the hands of individual parents, rather than have the PTC decide (more than they already do anyways) still this seems like a problem in search of a solution, the TiVo Parental controls are already effective at making sure that my kids don't watch shows they shouldn't like Family Guy or South Park.
I can't help but be highly skeptical of anything that the PTC is involved in, From my perspective TiVo mighty as well have announced a new partnership with Macrovision or the MPAA, I don't even need to know what it's about to know that it's not something that I'm going to like.
