DirecTV poised to take on TiVo
David Lieberman writes in USA Today:
DirecTV CEO Chase Carey sounds sincere when he says he has "no bone to pick with TiVo." But that isn't stopping him from turning the No. 1 satellite company — until recently TiVo's most important ally — into the digital video recorder (DVR) pioneer's potentially most dangerous rival
For the first time since 2000, DirecTV has stopped encouraging its 14.7 million customers to buy receivers equipped with TiVo DVRs, which can record and pause live TV. In October, it will urge them instead to snap up units featuring a product developed in-house: the DirecTV Plus DVR. The new DVR "is at the center of a lot of DirecTV's strategies and plans," Carey says.
