SONICblue Hits the Auction Block

turkeywrap writes "Looks like there's no hope for SONICblue, makers of ReplayTV and Rio MP3 players. An agreement with D&M holdings (parent company of audio equipment makers Denon) fell through, so now a bankruptcy court will hold an auction for both of the main business units, ReplayTV and Rio, on April 15. Glad I bought my tivo."

Oregon is full. Demonstrating this: SONICblue, based out of the Portland-metro area city of Tigard, was a sizable employer here. If you're in Oregon and not born there, I'll take this opportunity to remind you that it's generally polite to leave when you're finished visiting out-of-state.

Clearly, Kleenex needs some internet forums, stat.

Re:What about the ReplayTV users?

Well the Tivo can be hacked to use an alternate provider as the Tivo runs linux at its core.
While the replay doesn't and is much harder to hack

Sheesh man, don't you have any idea where you are? This is slashdot, for Pete's sake!
