Kent Newsome on technology, music and life

Where Have You Gone Mr. TIVO Man

A Newsome turns his lonely remote to you (woo woo woo).

If I sound bitter, it's only because I am.

The reason I write so much about the impending death of TIVO is because I love my TIVO so much. It makes me mad that I am going to lose such great (and expensive) technology. But if I (like a lot of TIVO's customers) am a DirecTV customer unwilling to go backwards to cable, then I have no choice but to find an alternative, since DirecTV is killing TIVO slowly, but surely.

Here's an article in Forbes that says DirecTV may start shipping non-TIVO DVRs next month. So the end that I have been dreading is about to begin.

What's that you say Mr. R. Murdoch, Mr. TIVO has up and gone away?

Comcast is currently teaming up with TiVo to bring an even better experience on Motorola ASTB/PVR boxes (ie, combined settop and tivo)
