While the CEO of Tivo is less than dynamic- the stock is undervalued. Count on a deal between Tivo and another company in the next couple of years. DVR's just don't have the internals that Tivo does. Content is everything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20710455.post-1163634525930297082006-11-15T18:48:00.000-05:002006-11-15T18:48:00.000-05:00I'm glad you enjoy Tivo, though I think you should...I'm glad you enjoy Tivo, though I think you should brace yourself for bad news in the next year or two. All the trends for Tivo are very bad. It simply can't compete with the DVRs offered by every cable company. I think you'll find the one-time purchase of a $250 Slingbox will give you all the on-the-road capabilities of Tivo PLUS you can use any computer anywhere in the world to log on and watch what you've recorded, delete it, set new recordings without having to wait till you get home? Can Tivo do that? Not being snarky, just wondering. TIVO was awesome when it came out and I can understand your attahcment to it. That's well-deserved. Unfortunately, that's why Tivo was imitated by everyone else. Betamax was better than VHS too.Michael in New Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01449933463450154603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20710455.post-1163613586229694362006-11-15T12:59:00.000-05:002006-11-15T12:59:00.000-05:00TIVO is great.

If I am in a hotel- and see something I want to record- I can go to my Tivo account through the net and communicate with it, ie. record remotely. DVR's are nice for basic recording- however, if you take your home entertainment seriously, TIVO is the way to go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
