Tivo has released a new blog post talking about Cable Cards.
This is because congress has repealed it’s legislation that required cable companies to use cable cards in their own devices, and allowed 3rd party devices like TIVO to use them.
TIVO is saying they will still exist for a while, and they are working with Comcast to create a new non-cable card solution, but it still is worrisome as a longtime TIVO user. I mean of course I would like something that also works with all the VOD from Verizon, but I hate their DVRs and have loved the simplicity of TIVO for a long time, so I hope they manage to stick around!
