SBC Builds A TiVo Rival

Posted by timothy on from the hubris-is-good-for-us dept.

ChipGuy writes "With all the hoopla around Tivo To Go, SBC Communications has launched its own PVR-plus-set-top box which integrates SBC DSL with its satellite service. From the looks of it, this could be the trend where phone operators offer their one set-top box/ home media servers. This is not good news for TiVo or Microsoft which harbors living room ambitions. 2Wire might be the dark horse in set-top box sweepstakes."

    2 Wire actually has a product other than the bandwidth meter?!

    At least I'll be calling the same company to complain about all of the miss-charges, instead of the myriad I have to now.
