As long as TiVo charges $18/month for each TiVo you have, they have NO HOPE of significant market penetration. Their best expansion was when DirecTV's HD TiVos cost $5/household regardless of how many TIVos you had. They should charge more for the hardware and much much less for the subscription.

As a TiVo shareholder, I find their management exasperating. Seldom dou you find a company with all kinds of better mousetraps and no customers. They couldn't sell mittens to Eskimos.

Actually it's WAY less than $18/mo, I believe the highest is $12.95 if you go month-to-month, and as low as $8.31/mo if you pay at least a year ahead. And then there's lifetime options if you're into that. There's also a multi-TiVo discount that has a lower "max cost" but I don't recall how much that is.

I get the sense that the slow Comcast-rollout is probably in large part on Comcast.
