The Secret Origins of TiVo

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the trust-no-one dept.

Davis Freeberg writes "TiVo is probably better known for their ad zapping technology than their television advertisements. In fact, other then a few lousy infomercials and a commercial that was rumored to be banned by the networks, TiVo has never really had much in the way of TV advertisements. Apparently though, one of TiVo's more rabid fans did some sleuthing and discovered a hidden easter egg video buried deep within TiVo's own website. The video itself exposes the true origins of TiVo's technology and how they got their hands on that ad zapping photon remote to begin with."

    Oh, hehe, no, you're trying to make a comparison! For that we use "than".

    Say we're trying to do a comparison between A and B in BASIC:

    10 IF A=B THAN 100
    Syntax error.

    Always fun to correct those who correct others. :) You're turn. (sic)
