1 edit | Numbers are off Someone over in the TiVo Community Forums pointed out that DirectTV under-reported the number of lost subscribers from the previous quarter by 146,000. So the number of lost subscribers wasn't as bad as the numbers indicate.
The report actually indicates that only 79,000 TiVo owners actually canceled their subscription. The rest were losses from old DirecTiVo subscribers.
See the TiVo 4th quarter financial report for details.

Included in the 1,537,000 TiVo-Owned subscriptions are approximately
237,000 lifetime subscriptions that have reached the end of the period
TiVo uses to recognize lifetime subscription revenue. These lifetime
subscriptions no longer generate subscription revenue.
* MSOs/Broadcasters Subscription Net Additions/(Losses) in the third quarter ended October 31, 2009 would have been a loss of (123,000) subscriptions, excluding a one time reduction of (146,000) subscriptions associated with a subscription over-reporting error by DIRECTV.
