Apple knocking on TiVo

"New UI Showdown: Apple vs. TiVo" gets it right: Apple via ipod and itunes have beaten all the upstarts with mp3 game. Video is next and TiVo is on the radar: if you can greate movies [imovies] and download and watch movies [itv], recording and navigating TV shows are next logical steps for Apple. TiVo may have slick interface today [I have yet to own a TiVo box: I've used Microsoft MCE and BeyondTV and Dishnetwork's PVR] but Apple has longer experience doing GUI than TiVo. So, if anything, TiVo would be a good stock to short now: they have lost money for years and they got a boost announcing their new, series 3 HDTV recorder.
