With CV apparently already offering an HD DVR from
MOT, and the history of TiVo uptake, I don’t see

TiVo likely will take much smaller revenues from
these boxes and the warehouse could use some place
to send those S2DTs.

If TiVo really felt there would be significant numbers
from this deal they wouldn’t have cancelled all those
orders and taken the $11.2M writedown.
