Japanese TiVo

So I tried to be clever. I guess since TiVo isn't a Japanese word just yet, but maybe it will be a household name soon. Tivo will be entering the Japanese market as early as 2006. The California-based company was one of the pioneers of the Digital TV recording industry, taking it mainstream to the public, but has had recent financial woes prior to Comcast buying the company.

Reuters also reports with over 3 million subscribers in the U S of A, TiVo will have its work cut out for them with other companies already in the market such as Panasonic. This could be a fantastic move for TiVo, because they will most likely need to form alliances with various Japanese companies for the parts and services that are needed to get the service running, cable TV, hard drives, and manufacturing.
