Goodbye, TiVo, old friend.

[EXTRACT]

TiVo Corporation is quitting its consumer Digital Video Recorder (DVR) market. At its peak there were millions of TiVo recorders in the market with users praising its time-shifting technology. Launched in 1999 the technology was capable of skipping ads and pausing live transmissions, technology which is now commonplace but at the time was revolutionary.

More recent devices have been available with 4K storage capability. However, streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu and their competitors make pausing, rewinding and other functionality commonplace.
News to me, thanks OB.

Tivo has a massive presence now in the "smart" tv market, so I wonder if it's just the case of concentrating on that, or whether they plan to literally shut everything down??
