I don't think it's the crappy boxes sold by cable companies, VOD, or the monthly charge... its the internet. You can find pretty much any show you want, minutes after it's aired, streaming. The cable companies and Tivo are in the same sinking boat... the cable companies are just on a higher deck.
@aasneuro It's the monthly charge. Except now you're right. It's too late to save the company by cutting out the monthly fee. If they had done it 5 years ago, there would have been a chance. Now they're just the company that makes a DVR that nobody has. Name value is trashed even though people use the name as a verb. People don't even consider buying a TiVo. The average consumer doesn't know why, but they figure if nobody they know has one, there must be a good reason not to get one.
