Philips creates a box that uses TiVo's technology. TiVo is a company started by a couple of ex-SGI people. The TiVo service and the original hardware were/are completely designed by TiVo. The company has already annouced partnerships with DirectTV and Sony to produce boxes featuring the TiVo service. Eventually you'll see TV's and digital cable boxes coming with the hardware already inside, hell the Playstation 2 runs linux, maybe Sony will release a TiVo add-on for the thing.
