TiVO coming back to Directv next year

[LTommy256]

From:

Tivo's earnings release:

"We also recently signed a new agreement with DIRECTV with which we've had a very successful history. With the new deal, DIRECTV will begin marketing a version of the TiVo service that is built on DIRECTV's broadband-enabled HD DVR platform. This exciting new product will allow DIRECTV customers to select a TiVo DVR for use with all of DIRECTV's high definition programming. The agreement also re-establishes DIRECTV as a key national marketing and distribution partner for TiVo.

What is the impact of this?

This might give DISH a run for it's money in regards to their hd dvrs. After all DISH's dvr is based on a tivo anyway. IF it can do 3 or 4 recordings at the same time-2 ota & 2 sat , like the new 722k will do with the ota module, then DISH will definately see some more churn to Directv.
