That's true and IMHO I'm surprised a company like Tivo actually survived this long considering it hasn't done too much to update its product, which wasn't all the useful to the average guy in the first place.

But in the UK the situation is different. They will probably have more customers here than they have in the US as VM's plans mean we VM customers will eventually not have a choice as to whether or not we actually want the Tivo. The service over here isn't the same as the US as the stb isn't by them but still it should be lucrative for them and they also have potential to expand its range of services.
