Smallworld (the little cable co in Scotland/Northern England) are launching a new 1 TB box soon that has many of Tivo's featuires including YouTube and also Flickr with more to come. If they can do it imagine what the US cablecos can come up with.
There best hope is those court cases, I hope they win if they deserve to.

Let's hope Tivo are around then, that's my concern. |
I's worth noting, that although they did lose a lot of subcribers, they also added 60,000 new subs in that quarter.
They do need a change of fortune in the US though. That churn rate isn't healthy!
