TiVo recording funeral for the video tape on video tape

By Ross Rubin

Apparently not feeling very diplomatic since the launch of the
TiVo Ambassador program, TiVo just issued a press release announcing that they're hosting a funeral for the VCR at the big DigitalLife joint going down in NYC later this month. And, just like at most funerals, they're giving away presents. Drop a tape in the "casket"
(and sign an activation contract) and walk away with a free TiVo box while supplies last. The press release legalese,
though, cautions that "this TiVo event will be video taped." Gee, you'd think they'd at least use an
Everio, right?
