Engadget Interviews TiVo CEO

Posted by michael on from the thumbs-up dept.

r-blo writes "We've got an interview of Mike Ramsay, CEO of TiVo, by Engadget correspondent J.D. Lasica. He's rather candid in his thoughts on Hollywood, Netflix, the FCC, the INDUCE act, their competition, and their latest technology, TiVo ToGo, which lets you take your TiVo-recorded shows with you on your laptop (or PC, as it were)."

    I have a first-gen Tivo with 9 hour capacity. My wife has taken it over. On any given day, I can expect to find one or more episodes of:
    • Judging Amy
    • Gillmore Girls
    • Everybody Loves Raymond
    With this new gadget, I could consign her to watching these terrible shows on her Mac, preferably with headphones on and a small tent around her desk.

    Damn, who am I kidding? I'll be the one in the tent watching 12 hours of LoTR :(

    Not only is she able to operate it, she took complete control of it. ;-)

    Tell me about it, my girlfriend is slowly taking over my TiVO. At first she thought it was way to expensive and couldn't understand why I bought it. Now she complains that I record too many of my shows; she hasn't seen me watch 'Mythbusters' in a while so I should remove its Season Pass so her 'The Appretice' has more room. Women.
