Tivo is Alive

Posted on March 15, 2005 05:02 PM by Joel Comm

If you have followed my blog at all, you know that I am a long-time Tivo user. I have been a subscriber for approximately five years, making me an early adopter.

Tivo has been going through the ringer lately and it looks like they have just made a deal that is going to seal their fate as a household brand.

Today, Tivo announced that they will be creating a custom-built digital video recorder for Comcast, one of the nation's largest Cable providers.

The stock shot up 75% on the news and made lots of Tivo shareholders very happy. This deal is a huge coup for Tivo. And I'm happy about it as well.
