They can't legally.

He tried to buy D* a long time ago. Government said no. How Sirius and XM merged is foreign to me.

The target market for the products is rural america. Not everyone in rural america can afford a $ 150 internet bill and I doubt a library is easily accessible in the boondocks. I worked hard to get where I am, multiple degrees and years of college and military. However, I do realize and...

We pay for everything else. Might as well use my money for something useful to someone less fortunate than I.

I completely agree. Why would Google buy an outdated sinking ship? Ok, cool, they can save it from sinking, but what use is it after that? I can rebuild a Ford Pinto, but after I put all that money into it I realized I just got done spending all this money to polish a turd. Riddle me this...

Obviously, you don't know a lot about stocks. 41% drop is extremely bad.

This is what also baffles me. If "I did" work for Dish, E*, or Tivo, I couldn't say so on a message board because the wrong comment could start all kinds of fires. Thinking that Tivo is paying big bucks for high end lawyers, why would they troll satelliteguys steadily throughout the day (not...

:up

Ok $5 million. Thank you for the correction. Yet the overall point of that statement remains valid.

Ok, I'll withdraw that characterization. But with that I will ask, how much cash on hand does TivO have? What is it's operating costs? And if they lost a significant amount of subs from the STB business, could the other ventures hold up the company?

I didn't say Dish stock. I said Echostar stock which would be buying TiVO if anything and is the competitor to TIVO. Even though E* has limited it's liability to $100 million I believe, it would be impacted just as greatly as Dish would.

I agree completely. That's why I think the stamp of "TiVO powered or With TivO technology" on the STB's and the loss of lawsuits would be the biggest gains out of the whole deal.

But if your revenue is shrinking, source of income is dwindling (because of loss os subs), then isn't suffocation a form of death?

That stuff is great on paper, but when your on a sinking boat you don't necessarily get to pick the terms of your surrender. What I mean by that is, if I'm on TiVOs board and we have one foot in the grave and another on a banana peel, I'd vote to scratch that poison pill stuff to recoup some...

I believe they would appeal of course. But time is ultimately against TIVO on many levels. Patents running out, losing money hand over fist, and over lawsuits lingering like vulchers ready to start picking at TiVOs bones. TiVO needs the court precedence and the money.
