Now that TiVo finally got a quarterly profit for the first time ever, it appears they're going the aggressive route to keep things flowing. It's funny they have looked back and decided that $799 price point for a DVR *might* have been a tad excessive. At least they're going to try to remedy that now…well, at least that's what people […]

Multifunction devices like this always concern me, as I feel a lot of times they make compromises. But then again, for $1500…is this that much more powerful than an HTPC? […]
