I am constantly amazed at how Tivos abysmal marketing policy manages to sink an incredible product. They failed in the UK by letting Sky (who have the competing product) control their sales, and seem to be failing in NZ/Au due to similar foolish decisions. Why let Sky control your sales? Why give exclusive sales rights to Telecom, who are not normally associated with this sort of thing? Why do so little advertising... Why have such poor after-sales support?
Sigh.
At least I managed to get 3 of them before they became unavailable, and can likely pick up (and fix) some old ones on trademe
I wonder how long it will be before the guide data disappears and they become doorstops, and we're forced to pay Sky a couple of hundred dollars a month for less functionality ...?
