Tivo's maybe were first sold as a service but I don't think that works
anymore. It is not really possible to sell guide data service that
competes well with what the cable & sat companies have.

So I think PVR's are just hardware now.  If they can't be sold
competitively that way then they are likely in deep trouble.
