I've shifted my opinions on TiVo. I used to wish that TiVo would come out with newer/better equipment. Now, I just wish that somebody else would come out with a DVR.

Of course, the core TiVo patent was filed in 1998. We've got several years left until it (and the related ReplayTV patent) expire. I fear nobody will want to get into the game until those patents expire, maybe 7 years from now.
