TiVo Subscriptions Hit 3 Million Mark

Washington Post (free registration required):

Digital video recorder maker TiVo Inc. on Friday said it added 698,000 subscribers in its fiscal fourth quarter, bringing its total to over 3 million.

The Alviso, California-based company said it added 447,000 customers through satellite television provider DirecTV Group Inc., and 251,000 "TiVo-owned," or stand-alone, users in the period ended on Jan. 31.

The stand-alone users, who typically buy a TiVo DVR at a retail store and pay about $13 a month for the service, typically generate far more profits for the company than do the DirecTV users.

And another excellent subscription service gets some much-needed good news.
