Some do. Most don't. The problem is that our battery technology is just not up to creating a battery powerful enough to run a Tivo for any length of time and stay small enough for people to have it in their living room.
A clock or clock radio doesn't use an awful lot of power. You can get ones that run for weeks on a couple of AA batteries. The battery required to run a Tivo for any length of time would be considerably larger than the Tivo itself.
