Is TiVo losing its buzz factor?

Lost Remote thinks so:

A research company called Brandimensions said it scanned over 80,000 sites and concluded that the generic terms “recorded” and “DVR” are gradually replacing the words “TiVo’d” and “TiVo.” The study also concluded that consumers are growing increasingly concerned with TiVo’s standalone box and its inability to record in HD or two shows simultaneously.

It certainly wouldn’t be the first time that an innovator had been passed over. For years, Xerox was the brand name that everyone used when they wanted to talk about photocopies, even after other companies had overtaken Xerox in market share.

Back then, people said “I’ll make a Xerox of it,” even if they were using a Canon copier.

Today, I know people who still talk about TiVoing a show, even if the actual recording is being made on a Media Center PC or a cable company DVR.
