Tivo are also losing money hand over fist, on that $68.5m they lost $10million They aren't a giant, not by a long stretch.
Tivo have no money, VM's OCF dwarfs Tivo's by huge margins. The new boxes they've bought out are pretty much their last throw of the dice, gone are the days when everyone had a Tivo, providers own DVRs have come on huge amounts since the days of Tivo dominance, and couple that with the issue of them needing addons to work with SDV, and it being pretty buggy, they aren't the force they once were.

VM are in £6bn of debt though. Just because their operating costs are more doesn't mean they're a bigger company. Tivo are the biggest and most innovative pvr company in the world. Tivo are across the globe and like i said Virgin Media are a small UK cable company. Tivo's reach far out weighs Virgins.
