Tivo's New Competition - There's word that Tivo has a new competitor in the form of AOL Time Warner. However, based on the product descriptions, I'm not too worried that Mystro TV, is going to put Tivo out of business anytime soon. Mystro operates using the cable system itself to allow viewers to time-shift programming. I, for one, am not convinced that they can pull this off in a way that will be expedient and successful. People haven't really flocked to pay-per-view or video-on-demand technology and I don't see that changing unless it can be done without much effort and with instantaneous availability of the services and programming. So, with Mystro not that big of a concern, Tivo can get back to more pressing matters. The biggest issue, the LA Times argues, is actually its own prohibitively high price tag.
