i really don't agree with you here, Tivo isn't suing for profitability. it is really suing to protect its patents and business. For Tivo which pioneered DVR's, companies like Directv, Dish and numerous cable companies doing their own DVR's essentially killed their business.
I applaud Tivo for protecting their IP and proving that they are still relevant and needed. If these companies are expecting to do DVR tech, they ought to pay Tivo royalties for using their patents. and maybe offer Tivo software powered DVR solutions.
