Of course they don't tell you about the free service. They don't make any money off it. In fact since you do get about half the features of the full service it is costing them money since you are using their phone or network bandwidth to download the programing directory. I looked around for a page I saw last week that had a chart comparing the basic and paid service. I couldn't find it. So they may have removed it. I take that back. I googled "tivo basic service", and found this:

Now I can tell you right now that the chart isn't correct. We set up a season pass for shows. It is suggesting shows to us. At this point we haven't tried all the features yet so I can't comment on other features.
