TheRolyPoly 1,637 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Unrelated, right? I mean, HD Radio serves... Radio and TiVo has always been known for DVR on TV sets. So yes, unrelated. Actually, not anymore. The parent companies of both brands are merging: https://www.rbr.com/hd-radio-parent-to-merge-with-tivo/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrschimpf 627 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) It's for the patents. 95% of any of the mergers TiVo and Rovi (the 3rd or 4th name Gemstar, the VCR+ people held before the NEW change to Xperi) have involved patent rights. Maybe they can finally do something about convincing stations to use HD Radio for more than pushing signals out to translators and automated Spotify playlists. I have a $160 HD Radio I bought ten years ago that's done more as a Chromecast Audio box using the AUX jack than actually using HD technology.
