Still Waiting on Comcast TiVo – Though the wheels continue to turn…

TiVo service via Comcast has been a long time coming, considering the deal was originally announced back in 2005. Comcast certified the platform for deployment to customers last June, though no deployment date was specified by either company.

This week sees reports that Comcast will fund further development of the software for use on both Motorola and Scientific Atlanta boxes (the latter making up around 25% of Comcast’s userbase), with a New England Launch “shortly”:

Comcast is expected to roll out TiVo-powered DVRs on Motorola set-tops “shortly” in the operator’s New England division, which includes metro Boston, Southeast Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. That marks another delay on the project, as analysts had expected the deployment to begin as early as August.

Meanwhile, Tivo released some unimpressive earnings that are being blamed on TiVo’s “failure to anticipate how quickly consumers and retailers would fall in love with HDTV products.” Apparently, TiVo is awash in a surplus of standard definition DVRs as consumers take the high-def (and pesky CableCARD) plunge.
