Cox May replace its own DVRs with TiVos

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the eat-a-box dept.

Controlio writes "According to a posting by user BrettStah on the TiVo Community Forums, Cox Cable is currently circulating a survey to gauge customer's interest in TiVo services. From the survey, 'While Cox currently offers its own DVR service, the Cox DVR may soon be powered by TiVo, and include the features that TiVo owners have come to expect. If Cox were to offer digital cable service with a TiVo branded DVR for about the same price as you are currently paying for satellite service each month, how likely would you be to switch from satellite TV to Cox cable that featured this TiVo branded DVR service?'"

    How much would you pay to put a survey on Slashdot?

    I'd switch if the lazy bastards would run cable lines out to the country where I live. That would mean I could get a cable broadband connection instead of having my house look like a Space Monitoring station with Dish500 and Wildblue dish's on my roof.
    I have city gas and water but can't get DSL(SBC) or Cable(COX).

  3. Would you invest in TiVo? by spudchucker · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Just curious if any of you would invest in this company? I'm looking to get into tech again, and TiVo seems buy outable. (The yahoo stock chat room for TiVO is useless)
