This company will not last much longer if they don't drastically change their strategy. They have to begin integrating their technology with pay-TV companies like Comcast, Dish Network, and Direct TV. Those people who are unwilling to pay for cable will not likely pay a monthly fee for electronic programing guide data for their DVR.

I have Dish Network, and I'm certain that many other subscribers like me would be happy to have a Dish Network DVR with integrated Tivo technology, but there's no way I would every waste my time setting up a Tivo box to record from a non-DVR Dish Network Box.

...Also, if they believe themselves to be one of the best STB companies, why didn't they produce a stripped down digital transition box with no DVR that all of these OTA people could buy with a coupon. That was a huge opportunity to increase their customer base.
