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."

    gotta say, once I took a few looks at the product porn guide, and the way the thing looked, imagining a skinning like you've never scene before. All told, this thing looks dope! And the macOSX Screenies! http://www.2wire.com/?p=161/here

    I hear tell you're doin' well,
    Good thing have come to you.
    I wish I had your happiness
    And you had a do-wacka-do,
    Wacka do, wacka-do, wacka-do.

    They tell me you're runnin' free,
    Your days are never blue.
    I wish I had your good-luck charm
    And you had a do-wacka-do,
    Wacka do, wacka-do, wacka-do.

    Yeah, I see you're goin' down the street in your big Cadillac,
    You got girls in the front, you got girls in the back,
    Yeah, way in back, you got money in a sack,
    Both hands on the wheel and your shoulders rared back
    root-doot-doot-doot-doot, do-wah,
