It’s war
: DirecTV announces it will release a branded personal video recorder to compete with TiVo. This follows TiVo’s announcement that it is throwing its fate with the internet rather than with old pipes (and birds). It’s war. For TiVo, it is a war of survival and the question is whether it has the resources to survive long enough to reach the future that will surely arrive, when the internet and BitTorrent become a primary means of delivery of media.
