It's come down to the only future revenue option being as a patent troll.
Parts of TiVo (particularly their data/analytics arm) make sense for Rovi. I guess TiVo's growing business of providing hardware and software to MSOs does too. But given that Rovi is a purely B2B company, TiVo's struggling retail DVR business wouldn't seem to be a good fit for Rovi. Another sign that it may not be long for this world...
Ugh. The migration to Rovi's guide service was the final nail for Windows Media Center; not loving this news.
