I wonder what kind of time frame we are looking at before there are enough tivos out there to get the industry concerned to move to pay tv.

Price may be right for now to handle initial demand. As they catch on perhaps costs will come down to get them close to $300. I don't have a big bet on tivo but some money to make this interesting. see ya John

I encourage all of you to contact her if you're interested in learning more about the co. ('Course it will be a biased pov but I felt she was shooting straight,)
