Yes, TiVo does have the ability to collect usage data from units via the telephone line and some users have privacy concerns with this. TiVo stipulates that (currently) all usage data is aggregated by zip code, so that no information about individual viewing habits is being collected. In the U.S. users can request that TiVo block the collection of usage information from their TiVo DVR by calling 1-877-367-8486.
