TiVo HD DVR Announced at $299 [0.28] by clint,July 25, 2007 11:12

TiVo has just undercut its new TiVo Series 3 HD DVR system (introduced last fall) by $500 by releasing pre-orders on a new "TiVo HD" DVR for only $299 (August 2007 is the expected shipping date with corresponding retail availability). This is possibly in response to somewhat stagnant sales - with consumers failing to see how paying $800 for a product that, albeit slightly superior in use and performance, was supplied by cable companies for only a few dollars a month.

Is It Time to Drop Cable TV for Netflix, Hulu Plus and Antenna? [0.27] by Mark Johnson,November 18, 2010 10:40

According to an article at the Financial Times (which we won't link to since you have to pay to read it) research firm SNL Kagen reported that cableTV has suffered its largest customer drop in the past 30 years. We're talking big numbers. The drop, which numbered 741,000 over just the third quarter seems to indicate that consumers are jumping ship for Internet, web-based solutions over traditional cable. The article indicates that it's simply a younger, more tech-savvy crowd leading the charge, but we have an alternate opinion, and one we've been putting forth for over a year now in articles and personal evangelism: CableTV is expensive. That's right, paying over $100/month for TV and Internet is fine when the economy is going strong and your job is secure, but when it tanks, overpriced cableTV - let's face it - should be one of the first things to go.
