Comments on: Two Little Lovers Sitting in a Tree, TiVo and DirecTV Renew Their Vows http://thomashawk.com/2006/04/two-little-lovers-sitting-in-tree-tivo.html Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:09:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Bryan Socha http://thomashawk.com/2006/04/two-little-lovers-sitting-in-tree-tivo.html/comment-page-1#comment-15332 Bryan Socha Wed, 12 Apr 2006 12:07:00 +0000 http://clients.emmense.com/thomashawk/?p=2148#comment-15332 I don't think this agreement extension is to use their units. I have it feeling its because they are the only provider not being sued for patent violations by tivo and extending the agreement allows them to directly compete with their own dvrs that use features patented by tivo. <br /><br />might be interesting, if tivo wins all their cases, could be an interesting shake up in the dvr market leaving directv standing tall.

My guess is the boxes are well debugged at this point, and none of the new features Tivo has put together can really work on a non-broadband DirecTV Tivo anyway.

I just wish that D* would actually implement all of the other features that standalone TiVo units have. As a diehard DirecTiVo user for the past 5 years, I am glad to hear this.
