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.

But cable operators already supply Tivo directly in the US, they have done for years.
The biggest of them all Comcast does.
Those churn figures are truly awful, no company can survive losing 21% of it's customer base in a year so I really hope the new alliances in Europe help them.
