"Chicken Littles" is a reference to those naysayers who have been predicting that SDV would be the deathknell for Tivo and all non-cable DVRs (including HTPCs). Certainly there is a difference of opinion present, but its not a characterization based solely on that diffference; rather, it is a characterization of the poor foundation for the "sky is falling" perspective and the attendant tendency to "bitch, moan, and wildly prognosticate." Check out the Series3 forum at Tivocommunity.com if you want to see unmitigated "chicken-littling" in practice.

That is exactly what I meant and in fact my un-edited version of this post, had a mention of TiVoCommunity.
