- bud8man, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Based on Yahoo's TiVo Online Scheduling....maybe Yahoo is going to buy TiVo...I am sure all kinds of agreements have been signed to get Yahoo and TiVo to online schedule together.
- Duston, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4FTFA: urged members of the recording industry at a major convention to cease using DRM as a basis for its business model. "DRM is not a consumer value proposition, it's a consumer cost," Yahoo's corporate music blog quotes Goldberg as saying
Finally, someone in business gets it! - digitalgopher, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I undugg by mistake then dugg again.
- ryanknapper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Tivo is a whole box software. Yahoo! Go is just software, like Windows MCE. Seems more likely they're competing with Microsoft. The whole article is lame.
Making a full screen media player is one of those ideas which is so obvious everyone has to wonder, "Why have we waited so freak'n long for this?" - wayjer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@hack Jandy
gopher, undugg his story for some reason and then dugg it again. It happens from time to time.
as far as the front page it just made it 6 hours after your comment. - jfair, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3You're right Tivo and Yahoo already have the online scheduling agreement as well as Yahoo weather, traffic, movies on the Tivo itself. I think Tivo is looking to the success of the Series 3 as to whether or not they'll accept buyout offers. Yahoo would probably be at the top of the potential buyers list. Yahoo Go might add an attractive internet functionality to the TivoToGo service. Perhaps the ability to get the Yahoo content on the Tivo box.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Duh -- the strategy is to make a living room device that can bypass broadcast. Apple's heading this way with Front Row and iTMS. Now Yahoo! has their way in -- they're about content, makes perfect sense, as the dominance of IPTV is inevitable.
- jdavid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2i am starting to wonder if the website address has something to do with how fast something can get to the front page, say maybe slashdot, tomshardware, nytimes, etc... get priotity as they are reliable news sources and digg wouldnt want to be too far behind these guys.
- CornStarch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3"Is Yahoo Really competing with TiVo in the DVR market?"
No it's competing with media center. - inturnaround, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3What's Yahoo Really? Something like Yahoo Serious?
- AggieTales, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I thought Yahoo was planning this for a while?
- Crazen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah, what company working in China wouldn't..... You play in their sandbox you play by their rules. Not like they say "we have a dissenter, show us your email" They say, essentially, here is a warrent for the email for this guy... Child porn or politics doesn't matter...
If somebody said "go to prision or show us this potential felon's email", what would you do? - gronne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Not really. The average person would be intimidated by setting up a PC DVR not to mention -- you're talking about a big PC right next to your television instead of a slim box that matches your other electronics. You could always go the Shuttle route but then both the difficulty and price go up substantially.
- DarkSenay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The purchase of Meedio could allow them to make a media desktop style app, much like Media Portal. The article didn't mention this. Read more information @ meedio.com it talks about the yahoo purchase. Sounds like more proof that yahoo may be working on a TiVo or media center product.
- AttroPheed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1oops wrong thread. jesus was an arab.
- blatheron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"But what's Yahoo's real strategy?"
Amazing. An entire article on the service and not one mention of Meedio (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1951783,00.asp) which was bought by Yahoo and was rebranded Yahoo Go. If I'm to digg an analysis piece, the author needs to do his homework.
No digg. - starmanjones, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1all well and good... but if net neutrality is killed then a lot of people won't have the bandwidth to use it anymore. tivo is connected to my cable tv.
- starmanjones, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1dang man... you're kinda cranky today.
- altman80, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yeah they are competing with MCE and alot of other HTPC programs out there. They are a couple of free HTPC programs out there already though (MythTV, Freevo, Media Portal, and GBPVR) which personally look better to me and is more configurable. I look for the HTPC market to start getting really crowded with the free programs I mentioned as well as MS, Yahoo, Apple, SageTV etc.
- bridbeun, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Be careful. Yahoo might rat you out to the Chinese and get you arrested.
- Lynxpro, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I'd personally prefer Apple to buy TiVo and implement their software for a Media Center version of OS X. It would be a great incentive to buy a new Mac Mini equipped with CableCard slots; something of which the Windows Media Center platform will not be featuring thanks to the stubbornness of CableLabs.

It was queued before I commented. Once it's queued its as good as front paged. - Lexiclick, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Yeah, I've have been hearing about this for awhile now...
Seems as if they are slow to act...yet again - jo42, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1> But what's Yahoo!'s real strategy
Suck more money out of our pockets? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -11/+3Front paged with three diggs. A quasi-record.
The thing I wonder is how wayjer dugg this story before digitalgopher, the submitter. It's possible, of course, but just odd.
