AdAge Predicts Tivo will Fail

Posted by michael on from the backseat-driving dept.

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."

    If you consider

    1. the source of the story and
    2. that many TiVo users enjoy skipping through advertisements and
    3. that advertising forms the bread and butter livelihood of the readers of that particular periodical,
    then the bent of that story is fairly predictable.
