• I am hoping that Tivo will get off their bottom and start to innovate in ways that consumers want (picture/music integration, commercial skipping, file transfer to/from pc's etc) instead of their blatant pandering to whatever they think might score them points with networks. Dosn't help that 3 year old technology with a twist like the HD Tivo only has hardware innovation and no software updates. Also D*TV refuses to let Tivo patch of correct issues with sets they own and are tied to D*TV service intruding a obnoxious amount of lag to updates. Tivo may night survive purely because they want their bread buttered on all sides.

As it stands today, TiVo offers up all the films he's directed which happen to be showing in the next few days, and possibly documentaries featuring the director. ... What if there were a great Scorcese interview available on a fan website, and that website was built to work with a hypothetical TiVo search API? TiVo would present that piece of content as an option as well, and you could simply "record" it, just like you do any other show. TiVo would then send a request over the net to the site, and download the content for viewing (TiVo might employ "drizzle" like technology to download the massive files overnight). ... Advertising-only websites providing paid search-like content for which TiVo becomes a market maker.
