Our American cousins like nothing better than a bout of litigation, that's for sure.

But my word all of this dosen't exactly inspire confidence.

I always knew Tivo was a very, very niche product in the US but those subscriber churn numbers are absolutely dire, if they don't shore them up quickly that company will surely go bust.

I wonder why it has become so unpopular, the recession perhaps it is quite expensive there?
