TiVo selling?

According to the numbers, TiVo just isn't pulling it's weight. Does that mean it's time for them to sell? Many different companies have expressed a bit of interest in the company but it looks to me as though those companies are after the rights and patents that TiVo has, and not the company and it's current path. Some cable companies are offering a DVR box set up for a few dollars extra on the monthly payment. A setup like that is much more feaseable for someone like me: no initial fee of $99.99 for the TiVo box, no TiVo membership hassle, and all the capabilities of TiVo! These companies may just want to buy TiVo so that they can go bury it out in the desert. Regardless, i'm not surprised that to date, TiVo has only lost money.
