Will they actually be able to compete against MS Media Center? Probably not, seeing as how it comes bundled with almost all new laptops & everything else these days. Good to know there'll be a worthy competitor, though; I personally like TiVo's interface, & Nero certainly makes some quality disc burning software...

"The deal also holds the promise of getting TiVo technology to an international market. Nero has offices in Germany, Japan, and China, as well as the United States. The companies did not release a timetable for the software release, or pricing."
