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.

But they do so alongside PVRs that offer just as good a user experience, but cost a fraction of the price.
Go on the Comcast website and try to find tivo.
I don't mean search for it, just browse through the site like you would if you were signing up and see if you can find anything to do with a Tivo STB from them. I can't. If I didn't know they offered it then I wouldn't find out from their website.
There's literally nothing linking to the tivo page from their main pages. Their DVR page makes no mention of it. If you didn't know they offered tivo you'd swear they didn't.
That's the problem tivo are facing, the cable co's are pushing their own hardware ahead of it, and people just go with the standard options.
