Making a profit ( if only "small one") will attract other providers ( or even non providers think BT & Footie no one saw that coming)
The TiVo will be NON state of the art in the next few years if it is left to crawl along as it is. The only great thing is the record two watch third option.Which in our house has become watch one ( on rare occasions record four - video senders are such a boon
)
It will fall further behind with out a major re-think. Just look at the moans on other web sites. Given the limited sales base, it will never be a game changer, while partnering with Virgin.
Sorry (and I understand the arguments) but think what a company such as SKY would do if they went over to it
If they see it as a threat / or great marketing tool , I would think in all likelihood that they will make a play for it.
having said all this for the most part it does what I want ( a Dynamic EPG would be good) Sand bags at the ready
