Better hardware. OTA tuners. The need to pay TiVo money each month?
OK, maybe not the last one. TiVo's insistence on the fee-based business model will keep them a tiny player forever. But then, TiVo's engineering has had about 70 IQ points on TiVo management for a long time now.
Sure, I would love to buy a superior piece of hardware in the Tivo, but I'm not even gonna spend $300 with their ridiculous monthly fee charges. I didn't even realize they wanted $16.95 a month to give me guide information. Shouldn't this cost about $3.95 to be competitive with cable? I think i get the Scientific Atlantic HD box for $4.95 a month and no hardware charge.
