A few months back when TiVo was preparing to ship an accessory for review, I asked if they might also throw some schwag into the box – because we know how much you love giveaways. And they delivered!

While we knew several technical details (HD, 3D, 1TB, etc) of the Virgin Media TiVo headed to the UK later this year (tick tock), but now we see (some) hardware imagery beyond my Phoshopped mockup.

As I don’t typically track investor relations outreach, I’m not quite sure if this is unprecedented or not. But it does seem noteworthy… TiVo has launched a website summarizing their ongoing patent dispute with EchoStar/DISH Network. And, beyond itemizing their progressive court victories to investors, it appears TiVo’s challenging the judicial system to do the right thing … Read more
