Thanks DP. I knew DTV represented the bulk of their business, but 87% of new subs in the 3rd quarter? That blew my mind.

This is just the regurgitation of the AP article that ran all over the place...nothing new here.

"TiVo says nothing should be read into its lack of activity at the trade show that ended yesterday. Its management team opted instead to make announcements late last year, said Jim Denney, TiVo's vice president of product marketing."

"Last year, the buzz was considerable about TiVo's plans for a movie download service with Netflix. But that's currently on ice because the DVD rental service is focusing on high-definition, while TiVo's primary focus remains standard-definition video, Denney said."


those were two interesting parts of the article to me.
waiting 6 more months for TiVo to have a HD unit seems to keep meaning a lot of other things are on hold waiting for it as well. :(
