TiVo - What Happened?

Will somebody just buy these poor bastards out. I'm afraid that its continued existence as an independent company needs to end. I don't think that there's much chance that it will become profitable as a standalone venture anytime soon. I given up trying to own this company, although I am a devoted customer (I actually was a very early adopter). I tried fervently to encourage others to jump on the TiVo bandwagon with extremely limited success (only one person I can think of). Oh well, their loss.
