Tivo the creator and pioneer of Personal Video recorders or Digital VRs are moving in a wrong direction by trying to increase value added advantage to its customers. It would have made sense if TiVo had signed up a deal with blockbuster or netflix as it would have been better to stream movies on demand for half or quarter the rental rates thus avoiding postage charges, delays, the rising cost of gasoline. By signing up with youtube, they are making a mistake of trying to go in for poor quality videos with useless picture magnification scales. I dont know if youtube purposefully uploads substandard quality on the web, if tivo tries to stream this low quality one onto TV screens, i fear the quality will bring bad name to Tivo. Tivo needs to move in opposite directions and shouldnt go in for computer and TV convergence with its DVR boxes.
