Tivo sinking ship / Apps is the future!

I'm sure this title "Tivo sinking ship / Apps is the future!" will stir things up, but it is time to say it for what it is. After seeing no comments on a previous post regarding Kodi app working on Tivo, it made me realize that this post is needed for discussion. Let me set the record straight, I'm a longtime user of Tivo from day one & have seen many good changes, but times have changed. No disrespect to anyone here, but the future is apps & will be the downfall of Tivo. If you read other sites especially the younger crowd, you will see this mentioned time after time that availability of apps, Android/Apple play store & downloading apps is mandatory. The only people that have Tivo is the older people like me, but the next generation has already said apps is the future. Yes Tivo was flagship when it comes to organizing,recording & OTA models (nice), but this is not enough for the future. Don't get me wrong, I love my Tivo & will go down in this sinking ship to the last day, but there is still hope if the new owners of Tivo will listen to the younger crowd. I don't know anyone at College level that has Tivo, Cable or Satellite. This new generation is using Internet apps (especially Kodi app that gets everything & more), Youtube, Netflix & of course all the social media like Facebook etc... This younger crowd doesn't care about recording shows, because there is an app out there to watch that show. Tivo has tried and added apps like Youtube, Netflix & if you dig deep you can locate Facebook, but most of the other apps are no good & laughed at when compared to what is available on the internet. They say why Tivo when just one app like Kodi is better. I sure hope the new owners of Tivo will survey the younger generation & make the changes needed to survive. Tivo does have hope, they need to design a Tivo as an open source box, which will allow the availability of all apps, a browser & everything that is available out there. The redesign would of course include there traditional recording & OTA antenna. Recording & OTA is needed for the older people, as it not needed for the newer generation because everything is already there in a app on the internet. One note recording must be limited to OTA only for legal purposes. Well I sure hope Tivo makes some big changes, but if not I was there at the beginning & will sink with them to the end, because I love my Tivo. Come on Tivo, listen to the next generation & become not just the flagship of recording, but flagship of opensources boxes & everything else out there as they were in the early days. damiansnpvp4
