Will Pause TV put pause on TiVo´s future?
Motley Fool, who owns shares of TiVo, just wrote an article to discuss what TiVo should do to compete with an upcoming technology called Pause TV. On that note, it looks like the adoption of hard drives in consumer electronics will soon make its way into televisions. Once that happens, Tivo needs to be ahead of the curve, so Motley Fool thinks they need to introduce a "TiVo TV". However, Humax already had a concept LCD TV with integrated TiVo, but it never made it to market. Perhaps now is the time to get this going again. What a great value add to have in a LCD or Plasma TV, with the cut-throat pricing and low margins for retailers. Hopefully TiVo still has this product in the labs and is looking for another TV partner to bring it to market, with Series 3 integration this time!
