An Interesting Excerpt:


"One theory is that DirecTV, which is now majority owned by Fox Entertainment (FOX:NYSE - commentary - research), will walk away from the deal and come up with its own DVR application. Earlier this year, DirecTV Vice Chairman Eddie Hartenstein resigned from his position on TiVo's board of directors. We believe the move signals DirecTV's intention to separate itself from TiVo. This belief is confirmed by the fact that DirecTV also sold its entire 3.5 million-share stake in TiVo around the same time. "
