Cord-cutting may be an unproven myth, but new research suggests that people's television habits are changing in a way you wouldn't expect: Only a third of all television viewing these days happens "live," without the Internet, TiVo or some other form of recording or time shifting.
Yama-hama, that’s a whole lotta TiVo. The company that put digital video recording on the map has just released a monster in the TiVo Premiere Elite, a $500 set-top box that can record four different shows at once and stores up to 300 hours of high-definition video. If you’re of a more nerdacious persuasion, that’s [...]
Best Buy has officially rolled out its “Insignia” house-brand line of TiVo-equipped TVs. These isn’t quite the same TiVo, though: This TiVo isn’t capable of recording anything. Sounds pretty dumb, right?

According to CEO Tom Rogers, the company’s new Premiere DVR box – which comes free with a two-year subscription for $20 a month, and offers users [...]
Alcatel-Lucent has declared war on Apple, Canon, LG and TiVo with a new lawsuit alleging that each of the companies is knowingly using Alcatel-Lucent patented technology without appropriate royalty payment.
