Apparently the news that Tivo was dying was premature. The good news is that Tivo will still be around to drive TV Network executives mad with frustration. The bad news is that all the other rumors that we considered here on BBB will not come to pass.

Under the terms of the agreement, Comcast and TiVo will work together to develop a version of the TiVo service that will be made available on Comcast’s current primary DVR platform. New software will be developed by TiVo and will be incorporated into Comcast’s existing network platforms. The new service will be marketed with the TiVo brand, and is expected to be available on Comcast’s DVR products in a majority of Comcast markets in mid-to-late 2006.
