TiVo on HDHomeRun?

Post by timeshifter »

I know this might seem crazy, but I'll throw it out there anyway. Now that TiVo is out of the hardware business, if there was an opportunity to acquire and port their DVR software to run on SiliconDust hardware, along with an app that runs on the various streaming devices, I think you would capture A LOT of marketshare from Channels, Plex, *****, and current TiVo users.

I think you said the problem in your post. Port their software. They are still in the software business and it would be a hefty price and or not able to due to patents.

TiVo, the consumer DVR company, has gone through numerous corporate MA&D over the years. One of the most recent changes was a spin out of much/most/all of the IP of the company into a NPE with the name Adeia Inc.
