    #Enshitification #Tivo

    Tivo to start charging for existing free 'commercial skip' functionality

    The buried lede....Tivo still exists apparently

    Was a probably 2 decade devotee of Tivo but the utterly self inflicted disaster they became was worthy of an advanced business class in college.

    TiVo is one of the greatest squandered First Mover Advantages in the history of tech. It was in a position to be a kingmaker in the streaming era, but couldn't stop shipping subpar hardware and software.

    I'm still using a couple of their Google TV streaming dongles, but they have NOTHING to do with the original TiVo. (They couldn't even stream DVR recordings.)

    I’m officially a cord-cutter many, many years after it came into vogue. All of my content is strictly OTA or from streaming services.

    Me and my family will greatly miss decades of happily using #TiVo CableCard-based DVRs. As @siracusa has lamented, paraphrasing, there’s really no good equivalent. Took a look at Channels but despite @caseyliss being quite enthusiastic about it, it just seems like a little too fiddly (not to mention that it’s just another subscription cost).
