Comments on: Another Black Eye For Comcast TiVo http://www.gizmolovers.com/2008/07/08/another-black-eye-for-comcast-tivo/ TiVo, Slingbox, Android, Blu-ray Disc, and whatever other tech I feel like blogging about...

And its failure suggests that all those OCAP applications won't be any better--i.e. buggy, slow, and unusable. Don't hold your breath for any of this...The bad news obviously is that Tivo put a lot of effort into all of this, and is going to get nothing for it. For a company that is barely getting by, this isn't a good situation. Obviously they were hoping to become more of a software company, and get some nice revenue out of this. That ain't going to happen... I’ll make the obvious prediction right now–this is a complete failure, and will be abandoned by both Comcast and Tivo within a year (from now).
