Comcast Starts Testing its Own TiVo Boxes Tuan Nguyen - June 7, 2006 6:39 PM The partnership between Comcast and TiVo begins to emerge In a deal with TiVo, Comcast has entered beta testing of its HD TiVo DVR. The two companies had announced a partnership together several weeks ago. Many had speculated that TiVo was in search of a large cable company to sustain growth since prior relationships between TiVo and DirecTV was starting to erode. Reports began circulating last week that Comcast was quietly working on its own unit but now actually supplying its own TiVo-based unit makes more sense. While the hardware itself isn't from TiVo, the software driving the DVR is, and this is what Comcast is testing according to reports. Several weeks ago, DailyTech reported that TiVo was actually trying to decide whether or not to give out its DVR boxes for free, to promote it services and draw in new customers. While not everyone will be able to get a DVR from TiVo for free, discussions were open to making the free boxes available for certain subscription plans... dailytech.com
