Re: Price said by fiberguy:Seriously... Tivo has been getting a cash-cow free-ride for some time now.. maybe it's time to focus the guns on them for their closed system. And yet, even after all those ridiculous overcharges and price-gouging, Tivo has never made a profit -- not even one single quarter.
Since they don't make the hardware themselves (contracted out) and make their income on the guide data, I wouldn't look for free or cheap alternatives there...
Maybe Tivo's business model just can't be successful. If so, that's too bad. The DVRs foisted off on cable/satellite users are pure cr@p. |
