With Rovi’s acquisition, TiVo 3.0 has arrived. In the short term, we know there will be hundreds of (unfortunate) layoffs in the name of “corporate synergy” and shareholder value. Yet, while the current iteration of TiVo begins today, we won’t entirely know what this newly merged company is all about for another 12-18 months. Sadly, for ZNF regulars, there are indications that retail hardware will once again be deemphasized given stagnant sales and an uncertain (cable) landscape.

TiVo is Dead! Long Live TiVo????
I wonder how their deemphasis on retail hardware will play out given the possible opening they have with today's announcement from the FCC regarding cable boxes. Search google for the story of your choice. Here's one possible link:
