"Comcast will fund additional development work to make TiVo’s digital video recorder software run on other platforms, including Scientific Atlanta set-top boxes, TiVo said in announcing its second-quarter earnings."

Good to see that Comcast is proceeding with that.

I agree.

Comcast has sunk a decent amount of dough into funding Tivo development for Comcast cableco STBs. And appears to plan on continuing this development. The same Comcast that everybody seems to hate may actually save Tivo. Ironic.

I'm a TWC sub not Comcast so it really doesn't apply to me though.

More decent news:

"TiVo has a similar deal in place with Cox Communications Inc. but had less specific guidance on when the Atlanta-based operator plans to deploy DVRs powered by its software and applications. Rogers did cite previous guidance that the Cox deployment would likely lag about six months behind the initial Comcast rollout.

"Having said that, though, we're still trying to see if things can be kicked off sometime this year with Cox. That's our current focus," he said."
