If they need to partner up and lean down to stay a viable profit turning company, then what can you really say bad about them? They are trying to survive. Just like any other company out there.
All true. The question is. When you stop being a "Unique" product and just become another run of the mill product, then what?.. Sadly my "TIVO" days maybe over, and I'll look for the least objectionable product, Not "Tivo".
