Re: Thinking beyond the DVR Tivo missed the ball on this one. While they are connected with amazon unbox, they should have taken the netflix/roku project. The tivo already had the hardware and the network connection, they should have just added the ability to pair with netflix. I have a tivo, actually 2, and now i have a roku. Netflix gain, Tivo's loss.

Netflix gain, Tivo's loss. TiVo and Netflix actually signed a partnership back in 2004, but nothing every came about from it because the studios wouldn't let Netflix stream back then so the whole deal kind of died.
So it wasn't TiVo's fault. They tried to do what you suggested but were shut down by the studios. Later after the studios lightened up TiVo went with Amazon. | |
