It's a source of endless astonishment to me that in the eight years since the first TiVo box hit the market, the cable companies and the two makers of most of their set-top boxes, Motorola (MOT) and Cisco's (CSCO) Scientific Atlanta, have never come close to matching TiVo's ease of use. TiVo still runs rings around the cable carriers' best boxes with its speedy response to remote-control clicks, its well-organized and easy-to-search program guide, and its really fast fast-forward.
I wonder how many more years it will be, I had the (dis)pleasure of using the latest and greatest Motorola box at one of my parents' places recently and it was a joke.
