Re: The future of television

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.

Re: The future of television
I had a Tivo back in the early 2000's, but they stopped doing them.
I think the subscriptions carried on for a few years, but by then we had a Sky box so stopped paying for it.

Don't worry OB, this is this answer at a cost of £0 per month.

It will kill Sky and VMs ambitions to prevent the riff raff from fast forwarding through ads.
Recording is the future (for the less brain washed)

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??
