replies: text: That was incorrect.  Early models used a monolithic RT system of some sort (MQX RTOS for the 3000s, at least).  The 4000s and 5000s use VxWorks.  I didn't see any reasonable place in the article to put any of that and am not sure it's of general interest. Jtl 15:31, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The article says ReplayTV had a DVR out 2 months before TiVo.  This directly conflicts with a TiVo employee who states that TiVo beat Replay to the shelves by one month.

replies: text: I am not sure this proves which shipped and advertised first. I certainly would not regard a TiVo employee as an objective source, and I have often heard the opposite fact over the years. My own experience is consistent with the notion that ReplayTV was available for purchase before TiVo, and may have advertised earlier, or at least initially with wider marketing campaigns. I had heard of ReplayTV from a magazine ad someone pointed out to me in 1998. (Or it may have been an article.) I had pre-ordered my ReplayTV in, I believe, January or February of 1999. I cannot be sure of when I received my unit but it was doubtfully any later than April. It was the first model they offered, and I used it extensively until 2006 (without upgrading the hardware, only the firmware). In 2006 I retired it due to the buzzing noise it developed after being powered on non-stop for nearly seven years. (Technically, it was still working and I never had any problems with it.) Working in the internet / digital media business since 1996, and with a background and family connections in the television entertainment industry, my associates and I paid attention to technology like this. I remember being introduced to the concept of a DVR in 1998 via press about ReplayTV, so my assumption was that they invented the concept. I had not heard of TiVo until late 1999 (a full year later) when I was recommending to a co-worker to get a DVR, and he said he wasn't interested in paying a subscription. I didn't know what he was talking about, because ReplayTV didn't offer a subscription -- you bought the box at full price the schedules were updated via an internal dial-up modem every night, for free, for life. I then began hearing the name "TiVo" more often in 2000 via word-of-mouth. People I spoke to in 2000 seemed to know what TiVo was but not ReplayTV, and seemed surprised that I had been using a DVR for a year already. (In other words, nobody I spoke to had heard of a TiVo any earlier than late 1999.) This seems evidence to me that the TiVo's marketing campaign was much more aggressive and went viral in late 1999. The subscription offering was also apparently more successful than forcing people to buy an expensive box for a one-time fee.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Symphonitron (talk • contribs) 03:40, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Replay did not beat TiVo to market 

message: The mixing in of DNNA's bankruptcy and the end of EPG data from D&M Holdings is confusing.  It creates the impression that the two are related, but they shouldn't be.  The D&M Holdings spun off DNNA, among its assets was ReplayTV's IP, which as noted had been sold to DirecTV.  So, after that point DNNA would have no more involvement with ReplayTV, since the EPG service had remained with D&M Holdings.  Though DNNA's bankruptcy is something ReplayTV readers would want to read about.  Just as, if exists, any information about the new suit against SONICblue.  Thought I had kept the letter.
When I first read, I got the impression that D&M Holdings had also gone bankrupt.  Which concerned me as I also a Marantz device, which has internet services behind it.  But, found elsewhere they were bought off from D&M Holidays last year, so hopefully a complete separation.  Though I wonder what the M stands now (in D+M Group)?
