Please show me where in either of those two articles is says that Tivo is exiting the DVR business.

Hydra problem solved, DVR's will cease to exist. Who wants to buy a refurbed KODI VCR ? I know a guy....

The "new console" is a DVR.... so, no.

And Tivo+ is an app ON the DVR. So... also no.

Check the other threads. We've been all over these topics all week.

Chuckle. Yeah, if you're posting CordCutterNews there's a good chance it's old news (and typically a poor regurgitation of the lifted content).

A fake news headline if I've ever read one.

I reported the thread since the OP has no idea what they are reporting

 

[schatham]

From the fox link.

"Zatz also reports that TiVo has been testing out the idea of including ads in DVR recordings"

If they somehow mean unskippable ads... <bleep> no.

But I could imagine them TRYING to do something sort of like how cable channels replace (right???) some ads in network signal? i.e. I don't think I'm totally confusing local vs national ads.. I thought there were 'placeholder' national ads that are then replaced by the cable company.

(and of course long ago there were tivo PAUSE ads.)

Sad, but true. Or if you're doing the tech news drinking game...DRINK

That site is the king of click bait articles

@Emacee , you apparently edited the thread title, which used to be something like "TiVo exiting DVR business", which makes almost all posts up til now totally confusing. Not cool!

 

[jaselzer]

This thread should be closed imho. It is a troll

I'd guess it's something like Google ads that are integrated into the user interface and suggestions/now playing that most people don't pay too much attention to anyway.

If so I could deal with that and it would probably be a great way to make revenue.

I would hate hate hate hate hate that. I already hate the [email protected]#$ bar at the top of the screen (which is sometimes ads).. Just give me more content for the list of shows/grid guide, etc..

I did not change the title. But somebody did. Now we know posts are subject to censorship and the censors prefer to stay anonymous and act like they don't exist.

I reported this post and asked the forum moderators who changed the title. Also told them that if a moderator changed it, there should have been some transparency, including giving us a reason for the change, since the new title caused so many posts to make no sense.
