CES rumor: Tivo to partner up with DirectTV and Dish Network
Well, CES is just a week away and it looks like the rumors have started, right on time. I don’t know about this one though, the tension between DirecTV and TiVo has been very public for a while, as DirecTV has stopped production of the TiVo-based R10 DVR and replaced it with the NDS-based R15. (The TiVo unit is still in stock but you have to request it specifically.) I suppose a partnership with Dish could be part of a settlement of the patent violation lawsuit TiVo still has pending against Echostar/Dish. It seems more likely that facts are getting confused. TiVo has TiVoToGo to support mobile content. Dish Network has a portable media player that can connect to some of the DVRs. And DirecTV just announced that they’ll be announcing (yes, really) a mobile solution at CES. Right now it seems more like three independent solutions and not a partnership between the three companies. Still, thought I’d share the rumor, it makes life interesting. I’ll be ‘reporting’ from CES personally January 5-9.
