TiVo and Vonage are circling the drain hand in hand. Face it, both companies are bleeding money faster than they can bring it in. TiVo simply can't compete with DVRs built into cable boxes that have multiple tuners in them and can record digital content without recording it off some crappy S-VIDEO interface using a stupid IR blaster to change channels. MAYBE their HDTV/Cablecard version coming out might hold their death off for a few more years, but the only long term option they have is to get in bed with the cable companies like they did with DirecTV and ensure their software (their hardware is essentially worthless commodity PC garbage, their software is the only thing valuable in their business model) is put on every cable DVR box that ships. The DVR software on a Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8000 I tried for a week SUCKED ASS and was a glorified VCR... if they could capitalize on their name and get their shit into the cable DVR boxes that major cable companies rent they may just survive past 2008.
