'The fate of TiVo also highlights the dilemma facing a lot of "exploding TV" start-ups.',

ok, I admit I'm not real familiar with the latest in television technology, but exploding TV's? what could possibly be the upside of that? faced with that sort of danger you'd definately want a TV-b-Gone. I'd say if their TV's are exploding TiVo's fate has definately been sealed.
