From Om Malik’s blog regarding Tivo: TiVo should [sic] a premium experience strategy and shoot for the top end of the market. The user interface is their barrier to entry and they should capitalize on that, just like Apple…

I’ve used Tivo, Replay and now Comcast. Even though Comcast has the worst UE, it’s adequate. And it edges the others in some areas.

I definitely hope that Apple does not put Tivo on the Mac, but instead rolls its own UE.

Apple’s going to enter the DVR market the same way they entered the MP3 market. It’s a nascient business with only a very few old oaks in the forest.

I would imagine Mr. Jobs will roll out a Mini, table or iPod solution (or an Airport Supreme to tie it all together).

And, if interface is the killer layer of the deal… Apple will dominate the boards.
