Its probably because the future of TiVo as it
is right now is uncertain. Rumors about them
being bought out or selling parts of their technology
have been going around. Also from TiVo themselves
they might have to end up just giving their hardware
away as they make their money on the monthly fees.
DirecTV also dropped them from being their main
source of DVR's so that's a couple million units
they lose a year starting this year. Next year
DirecTV completely cuts the strings and DirecTV was
a big part of TiVo's growth the last few years.
Comcast is supposedly going to put the TiVo software
on their Motorola 6412 but the 6412 is so so buggy
currently that it might end up hurting peoples opinion
of Tivo in the long run. I used the 6412 for almost a
year and its garbage, daily lockups at 520am and pm,
blank mystery recordings that you cant even delete, etc...
