Hello. Recognise me? No? Well, you see me all the time. You read my books, watch me on the big screen, feast on my art, cheer at my games, use my inventions, vote me into office, follow me into battle, take notes at my lectures, laugh at my jokes, marvel at my successes, admire my appearance, listen to my stories, discuss my politics, enjoy my music, excuse my faults, envy me my blessings.

Tivo to Go promised to allow network viewing of programs on other devices. A cool app that lets them play on the iPod and PSP is only an extension – right? Well, it seems that TiVo wants you to think it’s something new!
