It’s No-time TiVo!

Will somebody help me?
So, a couple of days ago, I surmised that TiVo wasn’t going to announce anything of significant interest at CES. Turns out I was right and wrong. Not only have not announced anything cool, they basically didn’t announce anything (unless you count this crap).
So basically, most folks were expecting (based on an accidentally released manual) a new DVR called the TiVo Premiere – which simply seemed to be a slimmed down, presumably cheaper version of the old TiVo HD and HD XL. They didn’t even announce that. So to sum:
- No “TiVo Premiere”
- No new DirecTV box (aka DirecTiVo)
- No announcements regarding tru2way and their Comcast rollout
- There weren’t even any demo booths as they had in previous years
- They did announce some crap about a “BATTLE OF THE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS BRANDS AT CES” (like end customers even care about that)
That’s it. It’s as if the board of directors in the movie “The Hudsucker Proxy” have taken over TiVo, but are succeeding this time. (If you don’t understand you have to see the movie – it’s great)
CES is still going George…. I wouldn’t jump the gun!
Oh, I didn’t jump the gun – wish that was the case though. At CES all of the press announcements are made either the day before the exhibits open or on the first day of exhibits.
At any rate, the show is almost over – tomorrow’s the final day. Much of the press and attendees have already left town.
I should also note that I actually went to TiVo’s meeting room to ask if there was *any* news and was quickly brushed out of there (got a stuffed TiVo doll on the way out). TiVo had literally *nothing* on display – which is even unlike last year (they had no new hardware in 2009, but at least had their products on demo).
Believe me when I say that I want TiVo to succeed. It just seems like their engineers know what to do, but top management is disconnected from them.
