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."

    Yeah, TiVo really found themselves in a very narrow market. Without appealing to the general public, TiVo just grabs techies who are too lazy to put together their own box, which is fairly simple. Plus monthly rates are too high.

    Wow. Just like my Democratic/Green party votes. We should work together, we'll be rich like a (Republican) senator! ;)
