| 1 | 4841 | 2003 | Cable and satellite TV firms have been more successful than TiVo in selling PVR services. Since their customers already pay monthly bills, a bit more for PVR service doesn't seem bad. TiVo requires users to first buy a set-top box costing $250 to $400. Users then pay $13 a month, or a lifetime fee of $299. The service fee on top of the hardware cost has been a deal breaker for many customers. DirecTV and rival EchoStar are leading the charge with PVRs built into set-top boxes. |
