I'm sure that it has something to do with the fact that DirecTV has dropped TiVo. Their new box is almost out the door. They're not desupporting the DirecTiVos (yet), but they soon will not be selling them anymore, and I imagine that was by far the largest part of TiVo's revenue. Expanding the market seems to be about the only option.
