AdAge Predicts Tivo will Fail
geddes writes "Under the obnoxious headline
More U.S. Homes have Outhouses then TiVos, Advertising Age has published an article with a few good points: 1) Tivo/ReplayTV/UltimateTV aren't making any money and their growth is declining. 2) Cable and Satellite TV services are slowly rolling out PVR on thier own boxes. So 3) PVR will become a standard feature for most television users but become as unbranded as programmable VCRs."
Another news site has just found that more outhouses have tivos than homes!

There are probably less Bentley automobiles and Lear Jets than outhouses too... is anyone
predicting their imminent doom?
Tivos are a luxury item that threaten the status quo, what's funny is adworld feels the need to
denounce them now when market penetration is so
light... methinks they doth protest too much.
...when they pry it from my cold, dead hand.
Fuck that, I'll TiVo it and watch it in the morning.
