Even more bad news for TiVo: Time-Warner Cable in New York (and a few other places) is going to start offering subscribers a set-top box that can record TV shows like a TiVo. The box they’re going with is Scientific Atlanta’s Explorer 8000 (pictured at right), which has an 80GB hard drive and dual television tuners for recording two shows at once. What’s most threatening to TiVo isn’t just that they’re offering this, it’s the fact that they’re going to charge less than TiVo charges for its monthly service and there’s no extra charge at all for the equipment.
