I heard the circuit city store near me and getting tivo stock in. Prior only best buy was advertising. This product is still being rolled out. If the consumer has the bucks they will buy it. imo

Glenn - without reservation, the tivo product is very cool. It is, in a way, a mini-computer with some intelligence. Once it "learns" your programming patterns, it records for you without prompting. Yesterday, I went thru the t.v. guide movie listings for the first time and saw all kinds of things that were broadcast at "unwatchable" times. Boom - tivo is picking them up for me. Don't know about the stock but the product IMO is terrific. FYI - I don't know anything about replay and its product though I hear its very similiar. Peter P.S. Re: rollout. Yesterday in the Hollywood trade paper Variety, tivo took out a full page add. They're trying to build awareness.
