		<description>&quot;but after the roller coaster that TiVoâ€™s stock has seen, going flatline really isnâ€™t all that bad.&quot;

Yeah - I&#039;m just a little bored with it. Sort of like watching guys get hit in the nuts. Unless you break it up with guys setting themselves on fire.

		<description>The problem with TiVoCast isn&#039;t the indie content, it&#039;s that there isn&#039;t enough.  Personally, I think it&#039;s funny to see guys get hit in the nuts, but believe me I understand how you wouldn&#039;t like it.  Some of Break&#039;s stuff is too hardcore even for me and I&#039;ve set that bar pretty low.

I think that TiVoCast will become a lot more relevant when users can upload any unprotected video from their computers onto their TiVo.  This solves the content supply problem, but is less than ideal if you want to easily subscribe to a video blog or on going content.

A better solution for mainstream content would be nice, but Amazon is a start and frankly, I think TiVo is better selling ads, then trying to sell content.  

The digital content game is a low margin business.  They are trying to replace their lost DVD money by demanding a higher percentage of the revenues for a digital transaction.  

I like that TiVo is one of the few content neutral (sort of) solutions that are out there and think that this is a huge asset.      

TiVo has had darker days then these, but lately investors have shown very little faith.  There are few near term catalysts and until the cable revenues start to kick in, the fast money will avoid it.  Sooner or later, though the cable money will start to come in and then it will becomes a game of musical chairs.  Right now, it&#039;s hard for people to be very optimistic, but after the roller coaster that TiVo&#039;s stock has seen, going flatline really isn&#039;t all that bad.</description>

		<description>&quot;The professionally produced TiVo ads are funny, but I will be more excited to see what shows up on YouTube. &quot;

Great. I haven&#039;t seen my fill of Tivo Cast videos - of guys getting hit in the nuts. (rolling eyes)

Can we have something good? Like studio sanctioned full length trailers? My pocketbook would be happier too. Hint: stock flat-lined.</description>
