I totally got this wrong. I should have double checked the original announcement before hitting publish. I've gone ahead and amended the article to remove the incorrect statement and to replace it with a more accurate description of their relationship with Cablevision. Thanks for adding to the conversation. NJD – Thanks for the insight. I totally got this wrong. I should have double checked the original announcement before hitting publish.

They are not only planning on deploying TiVo’s own set top boxes on the Motorola hardware boxes that TiVo is building software for, but they’ve also been selling standalone TiVo boxes to their subscribers in the meantime." Dave, Cablevision is not rolling out the TIVO software on MOT boxes, I think you meant Comcast. Cablevision is on the SFA platform. Cablevision did distribute the standalone box for TIVO but it was a very limited experiment. I am not sure if it is being done today. The way the standalone sub growth is going it doesn't look like it. “TiVo’s best cable partner to date has probably been Cablevision.
