Re: How can you patent something you did not invent???
I have a Tivo and really HATE not having the current tuned channel in a window while I look at settings, recorded content, etc.
And the unit (Tivo HD) menu system is horrendously slow compared to the Dish interface or Comcast's.
Of course I'm sure someone probably holds the patent speedy interface or tuned picture in a window.
Next you'll hear, sir you owe us royalties for the 'Fold the toilet paper in squares before you wipe your butt' method of personal hygiene. We patented that back in 1820. |

More than once a TV show or movie has been spoiled for me by that.
If you don't ever watch Live TV, which is the use case TiVo is designed for, there is no good that can come of having that window.

USA | If the 'use case' is to never watch live TV on a Tivo, why offer the ability?
I feel this is your opinion more so than anything else. |

Interesting. My personal preference is Tivo's over Time Warner's own. TW's interface is just unintuitive. |
