Sean Badding, an analyst with The Carmel Group (whoever they are), says:
"The cable train has left without TiVo onboard, and I don't think they're coming back for TiVo."Mike Ramsey, TiVo CEO, says:
"This brain-dead knockoff stuff is not going to work. People's expectations are going to rise. They're going to hear about TiVo's (features) and they're going to want it."But what it may come down to is:
