Same reason it didn't take off when it had a deal with Sky here.
Networks have their own PVRs now, people prefer one box solutions. Cable cards can make tivo a one box solution, but, in the past you lost access to interactive content. It's still a nightmare to get a cable card from some providers, and the move to SDV also hurt tivo.
Basically, consumers want to get their boxes from their providers, no hassle, everything works.
Hence why tivo is now working on providing boxes for providers.
