I think Everywhere Everything will end up buying the company, maybe it will be called E-Media!

Thats a bit strange considering they have made their first ever profit and in matter of fact they did think out of the box by launching the most state of the art STB there is and yet some doomsayers are still not happy.:)

Also do not forget that the share price has gone from $9 to over $20 in just over a year as well:erm:

Making a profit ( if only "small one") will attract other providers ( or even non providers think BT & Footie no one saw that coming)

The TiVo will be NON state of the art in the next few years if it is left to crawl along as it is. The only great thing is the record two watch third option.Which in our house has become watch one ( on rare occasions record four - video senders are such a boon :p:)
It will fall further behind with out a major re-think. Just look at the moans on other web sites. Given the limited sales base, it will never be a game changer, while partnering with Virgin.
Sorry (and I understand the arguments) but think what a company such as SKY would do if they went over to it :shocked:
If they see it as a threat / or great marketing tool , I would think in all likelihood that they will make a play for it.
having said all this for the most part it does what I want ( a Dynamic EPG would be good) Sand bags at the ready :p:

Its an American company - why would it not be :erm:

Two players whom might go for it. Leaving the biggy out ( Comcast)
Charter or Cox communication . Not sure what they are like these days as friends are all on Comcast. Mind you if they did the buying power they might bring to the table could prove interesting.

Itshim Victor would be so proud of you lately as despite the great success of the TiVo you still seem to find fault with it but then again Itshim being Itshim this forum would not be the same without you.;)

I thank you. It is becoming hard to think of things to "Victor" for you . It was so much easier when Carl was around :D
However I am not sure that you could call it a GREAT success.In many ways an improvement in others a step backwards and of cause its been around in one form or another for years. :p:

19th. Extra Olympics things will appear on TiVo from Today.
I thought that the Olympic EPG numbers had been confirmed, or am I getting confused with satellite?
