With 1.9 million subscribers or less than half the 4-plus million it had in 2007, these have been difficult times for TiVo. But the struggling DVR pioneer is hoping there is still demand for its set-top boxes.
The company is about to unveil TiVo Premiere Elite, with four tuners that let you record up to four shows at once, plus 2 terabytes of storage, room for up to 300 hours of high-definition programming.
The $499 box is supposed to be available later this year, pending a Federal Communications Commission waiver (of a requirement to include analog tuners). Given the plunge in subscribers the lingering question is how many remaining on the service will be lining up by then to get one?
