As a long time Tivo user, it is clear TiVo is stagnating. Their premiere is quite the let down coming 3-4 years after the Series 3.
While we have & love our Tivo HD, I recently had my Mom get a Charter issued Scientific Atlanta DVR. What a mess of a UI & remote that box is. I'm really tempted to just get my Mom a TiVo, though at $500+, it is a bit tough to swallow.
The company will get bought out for its patents, just like HP bought out Palm. It'll be interesting to see who picks up the pieces, and hopefully they continue to offer the service for us 'lifetime' customers.
