These people don't get it. Marketing is not the problem. They're servicing dying markets, and doing so non-competitively.

Depends on what you consider 'dramatic' in terms of UX.
You'd still have to pry my TiVo out of my cold dead hands before my corpse would willingly replace it with any CableCo DVR I've ever heard of...
I dunno. Modern cable and satellite STBs have come a long way. They're ad-infested, but so is TiVo.
