Cox already testing Tivo DVRs in New England

Tivo had a few more tricks up its sleeves during its recent earnings call, with its Tivo-loaded DVR finally on the way to Cox Communications. Just like the Comcast version, the initial trial is going on in the New England area, and it looks like Rhode Island will likely be first to experience market launch on Motorola hardware. As for how that Comcast box is doing, CEO Tom Rogers says its not contributing much but expects things to ramp up with increased marketing and the ability to deliver the Tivo upgrade automatically, without requiring an all-new box. Check out the rest of the details from the call and -- if you're willing to overlook the missing features -- get ready for an upgrade to the old grey box.
