But as for TiVo in Canada & HK, TiVo launched in Canada a couple of years ago providing full guide data, but for some reason did not retail boxes in Canada. The recent announcement is just that TiVo's will now be available for sale at a few big box retailers in Canada.

As for Hong Kong, it is the supposed to be the next Market TGC (TiVo Greater China) expanded into this year. But there seems to have been lower than anticpated demand for TiVo in there current markets of Taiwan and China, which has slowed or even stopped there expansion.

Their websites are currently offline (http://www.tgc-usa.com, www.tgc-china.com.cn), which doesn't bode well for the planned HK & Singapore expansion.
