You do know that there are less than 3 million Tivo's in circulation in the US and it is on the decline, I don't know how many homes are in the US but over 300 million people live there.

Let's agree to disagree as we are poles apart me thinks.

Exactly, and that is what most people will think I am sure.

hmmm... I think saying 300 million people and only 3 million TiVo subs is using the wrong comparison! It should be how many homes have cable and then take TiVo. TiVo in the US had 4.7mil customers in 2006, but lost some market share due to some cable co's releasing a basic DVR. plus it's more expensive in the US with a higher monthly cost. The VM way is much better at a low monthly cost.
