You Don't Need a TiVo Anymore
This chart of TiVo's slipping subscriber numbers may be surprising, seeing as TiVo is the television recording device (and it's so good), but it's something we've seen coming for a while. We love you TiVo, but you're fast becoming obsolete. More »

TiVo Is Slowly Dying
It's always strange when a company that's become synonymous with its market—like Kleenex to tissues, or Xerox to copiers—starts fading. And that's exactly what's happening to TiVo, whose subscriber level has dropped to where it was in 2004. More »

TiVo Sues Verizon and AT&T

Best Buy and TiVo Tie the Knot, Insignia TVs to Get DVR Software
In marketing parlance, this is a strategic partnership by which TiVo, with the help of Best Buy store placement and aggressive advertising, will increase its market share, and Best Buy, through advertising placements in TiVo DVRs, will develop long-term relationships with its customers. In irritating child parlance, it's Best Buy and TiVo, sittin' in a Tree, M-A-R-K-E-T-I-N-G. Either works. More »
