Users in our RCN forum note that the cable overbuilder has decided to use TiVO digital video recorders in the field. According to RCN, this won't be a software update pushed to existing devices, but an entirely new unit. The company says the launch is planned for early 2010, but so far a monthly price tag for the service or device hasn't been finalized. At one point a few years ago it wasn't clear that TiVO would survive as a brand -- but the company has since struck a number of major deals with cable operators such as Cox and Comcast. In RCN's case, TiVO will be their primary product and won't play second fiddle to other DVRs, something that seems to have plagued Comcast's limited deployment of the technology.
