The Future of TV

Unlocking the future of TV is an article featuring ample quotes from TiVo's president, Marty Yudkovitz. The first generation of TV required changing a handful of channels by hand, the second brought remotes, cable, and hundreds of channels, but the third generation, he says, is allowing customers to control TV with DVRs like TiVo.

This article also features TV execs dragging out the old boogeyman, that commercial skipping/forwarding is going to ruin their business models. As TiVo still sits below a million users, I wonder how many years the big networks are going to continue repeating that line instead of devising new ways to pay for shows. Do they not see the future that is coming, whether they can do anything to stop it or not? [thanks Brad]

I have a feeling this article is going to be a great read in about 10 years.
