Advertisers hate Tivo, but love people.  People love Tivo, but hate advertisers.  Tivo loves people and wants advertisers to love them.  See the inevitable problem?

So what is Tivo to do?  Install a new system called StopWatch of course, where your skipped commercial data is shipped over to Tivo HQ and analyzed.   Tivo hasn’t sold their info to advertisers yet (so they say), but it’s only a matter of time until the damn breaks and the shit hits the fan.  Better start looking into MythTv, Linux fanboys rejoice.
