TiVo’s much maligned “Discovery Bar” has suddenly taken that content discovery (and advertising) to a whole new level. One you may not have wanted your children to experience. The R-rated and somewhat inaccurate blurb, based on my foggy recollection of Starship Troopers, you see above started appearing on a number of TiVo Premiere DVR units about a week ago. Yowza! Fortunately, TiVo quickly cleared the issue for many subscribers and they were researching the root cause. Meanwhile, Roku’s truly got any of your depraved needs covered. However we are in need of some clever “My TiVo Gets Me” punchlines and perhaps a better headline. Have at it in the comments!
