DOW- very surprised that it held.
Attributed to strength in banking sector!!!
How long does that last? The gold stocks were up, so guessing not much faith in sustainability via bank stocks.
If gov't succeeds in propping up market, then perceived wealth grows, bolstering consumer confidence- and that may be the cheapest way of avoiding total economic chaos.

TiVo adds 90,000 Q2 subscribers
Raises full year revenue, subscriber forecasts
By David B. Wilkerson, CBS.MarketWatch.com

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- TiVo's shares shot higher Thursday in after-hours trading, just like its forecast of subscribers and sales.


Shares of San Jose, Calif.-based TiVo (TIVO: news, chart, profile) were up 9.4 percent to $10.61 in after-hours trading on the Island ECN.

TiVo, a maker of software used in personal video recorders, said after Thursday's bell that it picked up 90,000 subscribers in the second quarter, more than double its additions in the March period. It also raised its full-year subscriber and revenue forecasts.

TiVo now says it expects to add 550,000 to 650,000 customers for the year ending Jan. 31. In May, it said it expected to add 450,000 to 600,000 subscribers.

TiVo's current customer base totals more than 793,000.

"Compared to last year, we just doubled sub [subscription] growth in the first half, we'll triple in the second half, and we expect to roll past 1 million subs during the holiday season," said Mike Ramsay, chief executive of TiVo, in a statement.

Revenue is now seen within a range of $65 million to $70 million. The average analyst estimate is $70.4 million.

The June quarter was bolstered by a 167 percent increase in subscriptions from DirecTV (GMH: news, chart, profile) satellite customers who have TiVo's technology built into their set-top boxes. Some 56,000 DirecTV customers were added in the period, TiVo said.

The personal video recorder, or PVR, has received an overwhelmingly positive consumer response, because the technology allows TV viewers to pause, rewind, instantly replay or play back any live broadcast by recording programs onto a computer hard drive, rather than the use of a video cassette or other comparable medium.

PVRs have been somewhat controversial among major media companies because they make it easy for users to skip commercials while viewing a program.

The company said it lost $4.39 million, or 7 cents a share, compared to a loss of $3 million, or 6 cents a share, in the prior year's second quarter. Analysts polled by Thomson First Call were expecting a loss of 13 cents a share in the latest period.

Revenue fell to $26.7 million from $34.96 million; respondents to Thomson's poll were looking for a figure of $16.4 million.

The decline reflects licensing and professional services revenue from Sony that was recognized in last year's second quarter, which stemmed from a source code licensing agreement signed in 2001.
