Comments made recently by TiVo CEO Tom Rogers appear to open the door to working with DirecTV once again. Both companies previously parted ways as DirecTV's owner, News Corp., decided to back the technology of its NDS subsidiary. With DirecTV now getting the presence of Liberty Media, working again with the DVR maker is a possibility.
At a Deustche Bank conference, Tom Rogers said that he believed there may now be a possibility that the two companies could work together again, and why not? TiVo's best period of consumer growth was during its partner ship with DirecTV. Right now, TiVo could really use the boost.
Analysts say that concerns over the DVR manufacturer's capabilities to attract new customers is a big drain on its stock price.
