TiVo May Be a Buyout Target
Moose writes "Ars Technica has a piece up about the takeover rumors surrounding TiVo, now that it has a lawsuit win to boost its chances in the marketplace. From the article: 'It appears that TiVo is at a major crossroads, with brilliant technology under what now appears to be enforceable patents and a rapidly growing subscriber base, but with larger players in the TV market lurking just out of sight, possibly with pen to checkbook already. The DVR innovator seems to have little control over its own destiny now, and future success may rest in the hands of the legal system. Godspeed, TiVo.'"
Greetings citizen. You are not of the body? You will obey. It is the word of Landru, er, I mean TiVo.

Obligatory, MythTV rocks post. I've had my MythTV box for almost a year now, and yes, It changed the way I watch TV. I guess I have TiVo to thank for that, but since I'm a linux user and I like having complete control over the system, I have to choose MythTV over TiVo.
