Time Shifting TV Catching On
from the the-dream-of-TiVo dept
It looks like TiVo's dream world of everyone time shifting their television viewing habits is finally starting to catch on -- though, some may wonder if TiVo will live long enough to see it. This isn't particularly surprising (and some of you may want to take the predictions with a grain of salt, seeing as they come from an analyst firm with a questionable record in such predictions). However, what is clear is that the cable companies and satellite TV providers are all starting to offer some form of digital video recorder system to customers, and people who are using them don't show any intention of giving them up. One of these days, the TV execs may actually wake up and realize they need to change -- though, it's more likely they'll freak out and try to resist first.
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
