They are a licensee of TiVo Series1 technology. For all intents and purposes, it’s a dead deal at this point.

The product that Sony announced will not work in the US (DVB-T). That’s not to say they won’t create something for this market… However, without CableCARD support they won’t compete directly with cable companies or even TiVo. Not to mention Sony isn’t providing guide data, they’re grabbing the free stuff over the air. Not sure about Europe, but in the US that info is incomplete and not dependable for automatic DVR scheduling. Oh yeah, you’re not going to record a whole lot of HD on 20-60GB of storage.

Pfft… TiVo will be soon blown out of the water by the people at Sony w/ their new HD tuner/HD DVR add-on to their PlayStation 3. It’s called, PlayTV. This should cripple TiVo, which has done nothing but scrap it’s head above water, despite superior DVR technology. I guess one must ask: “Why?”
