Joe Montana Pitching Tivo And UltimateTV

from the he-just-likes-PVRs-that-much dept

These sorts of things could be avoided. Joe Montana is simultaneously pitching both Microsoft's Ultimate TV and its competitor Tivo. It appears there was a misunderstanding on Montana's part concerning the Ultimate TV spot - which is being used as an instore demo tape for Ultimate TV. Both sides are not exactly happy with how this all turned out. What I want to know is whether or not Montana actually uses either product, and which one he prefers.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    I just saw Joe M on the DirecTV Tivomercial

    He said something like, "My life before Tivo was difficult." I suddenly realized that everything I've ever experienced has only been my life before Tivo.
