Being first to market has no impact on patent activity - it's the filing date with the Patent Office that's important, and it's always best to get it granted in the US. Then you can make pots of money form attacking any entity that infringes on your patent, settling the action, oh and then licensing it's use back to the company again.
I agree with your comments on tivo use though and think it has the potential to change the way in which TV is watched far more than the simple PVR functions we have available today.
Oh and how about VM showing US Patent Office TV HD
