Kicked It In The Sun: The Cabin Fever Blog Site: TiVO competition?

Tuesday, November 09, 2004

Did anyone see this in the paper or news? I wanted to get some feedback or see if anyone has researched this new MS/Comcast venture.

ericdagg said...: You beat me to the punch. I was going to post about this article as well. Yes - this is indeed not good for TiVo. But, it's not like we didn't know it wasn't going to happen eventually. Hopefully TiVo is ready for a fight. I am a little surprised that it is M$ that was able to get the deal done. They have had lots of failed attempts at getting into the living room. We'll see what happens.

Go TiVo!

Remember that you can still get a TiVo for only $99 (with rebate); 5:45 PM
Trent said...: Tivo is now a verb which is both a good and bad thing. "I TIVO'd it" is just like saying "put a Band Aid on it" or "Get some Vaseline for that ass". Both brands became commonly used verbs which have stuck with us for decades. TIVO really needs to think about seperating itself from the competition with more products like the new DVD-Player/Recorder. More innovation. Get me excited about the products like Apple does.
Also, competition is great for consumer prices.; 8:04 PM
