There is no "TiVo OS". TiVo's own boxes use the Linux OS with TiVo software running over it. Comcast is running OCAP with TiVo running over it.

How is this any different than DirecTV's DVRs "powered by TiVo?" They have never had any of the advanced options that TiVo's own boxes have offered either. In their place you get access to the provider's own services such as OnDemand and PPV.

If you want those advanced TiVo features you can pay a little more and get an actual TiVo box with cable cards.

Whether everybody knew it or just "TiVo zealots," the fact is that the information was available from TiVo and Comcast on what was going to be offered. Comcast showed an essentially complete working unit months ago. If Engaget was surprised they did a lousy job keeping up with the story. If the general public is surprised Engaget did a lousy job of reporting it.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
