As a salesperson I have to say that its not very appealing for people(at least that is on the far west coast) to pay for digital cable service from Shaw and add on another subscription fee for TiVo. It's more practical for the average consumer to buy a HD-PVR in the longer term from Shaw or one of the satellite providers then go with TiVo. For myself I saw almost no effort from TiVo to even get a foothold in this market so i cant really say i didnt see troubles brewing. had they shown interest in the market i'd gladly sell such a solid unit(my DCT-3416 kicked the bucket last week after six months of shaky performance)
oh and TiVo, it also helps to bribe salespeople in canada with shwag.
