Dave Zatz has a look at the latest updates from TiVo and adds this news:
Originally, we were under the impression the dual-tuner HD TiVo box with CableCARD support might be ready Q1 2006. Based on what I was told (and what I wasn’t) I’m thinking we’ll see something mid 2006… if we’re lucky. One possible reason for a delay could be the slow acceptance and release of the multistream CableCARD specification. While it’s very early, I get the sense TiVo is looking at much friendlier pricing than the HD DirecTiVo model which premiered at a $1000.
All those screaming at Microsoft for not getting CableCARD support into the latest Media Center version might want to read this item and follow the links.
