« Philips Streamium | Main | Thomas Hawk: HD Tivo vs. Microsoft's Media Center Edition Review »
The Associated Press has a radio arm as I found out yesterday when I did a short interview with a reporter. He was filing a report on TiVoToGo, and I explained why the features were welcome in TiVo units, why it was a pain that they had to go to the FCC, and why I think customers would like it. The reporter then tried to play up the MPAA/NFL angle and asked how the ToGo features were any different from Napster. I explained that no, this TiVo feature had plenty of protections in place, and that TV shows are already being traded using other hardware. The reporter asked me to elaborate on that, so I did, and unfortunately, that's the only quote he used in the quick report.
Here it is: 444kb mp3
All the helpful stuff I said explaining the exciting new features was gone, and I come out sounding like a l33t script kiddie encouraging the world to steal shows. Oh well.
