This seems to suggest TiVo will remain in place for 4 years. However why would a new company continue to rollout TiVo boxes for the next 4 years if at the end they will need to replace them all with their own PVR's. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Liberty Global agreeing terms with TiVo to bring the current deal to a swift and amicable end. It would probably work out cheaper for Liberty Global, in the long temr, to end the deal with TiVo ASAP.
