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?'"

    Anonymous Coward? Doesn't seem like a legit post to me. I bet you Anonymous Coward would be "very eager to install Cox in his back end" too.

    I am pretty sure RMS would first need to uninstall the previous Cox from his backend prior to installing your new, more hardened version.

    Has anyone tried the new "Viagra" and "Cialis" forks of the "Sidenafil Citrate" patch (The patch is used to fix reliability and system uptime issues of earlier cox versions)?
