Rumor: Apple's iTV product to have TiVo Inside

The latest in pre-Macworld rumors is another case of wishful thinking with no shred of credible evidence to back it up.

An anonymous tipster told PVRWire yesterday that "Apple will be licensing TiVo patented technology for iTV. Also, the name iTV has changed to Mac Media Capsule."

Wow! Really? Um... no.

Haven't we been here before? Oh wait, it was debunked then, too.

If Apple and TiVo ever do hook up, I'll be ecstatic since they are two of my favorite brands, but there's nothing to indicate that's happening anytime soon. It was a better bet two years ago when I hinted at it.
