Yahoo! Plans to Connect Services With Tivo

Posted by Hemos on from the the-slow-move-to-merger dept.

Mango Man writes "According to the NY Times, Yahoo! and Tivo plan to connect their services to help differentiate themselves in their respective markets. The first feature offered will be modest: Tivo users will be able to find programs in Yahoo!'s listings and send them to Tivo to record." Ladies and gentlemen, begin your merger rumours!

    Tivo seems dead to me. I bought the first model the day it came out. Now I have an XPMCE server that is 500 times better.

    Yahoo? Do people still use Yahoo, or AOL for that matter? Google is my answer, Yahoo hasn't been used by me in 5 years.

    The initial features don't seem modest, they seem lame. What would future features be? Ads?

    Sure, it sounds egotistical, but I don't hear much about either. The $50 Tvios at my local Circuit City are still collecting dust.

    Merger to try to save their outdated businesses? Keep beating the horse, folks, she's almost dead.
