Tivo Surpasses Over 3 Million Subscribers

Tivo announced today it has surpassed over 3 million subscribers. In the fourth quarter the company added 698 thousand net subs with 251 thousand coming from Tivo itself and 447 thousand coming from DirectTV.

Too bad Direct TV is dumping Tivo in the few years with their own PVR technology. As of now I'm sticking with Tivo as I have a expanded hard-drive that gives me over hundred hours of storage and the 30 second commercial skip easter egg is a god-send. How much you want to bet the cable and satellite TV PVRs will never have that feature?
