摘要

The first time steve shannon debuted a product he said would alter television, he quickly was proved right. In 1999 Shannon unveiled ReplayTV, the world's first "digital video recorder," which stored programs on a PC hard disk rather than on videotape. It introduced viewers to features they soon couldn't live without, such as the ability to pause live TV when the telephone rings and to easily skip past the clutter of commercials. The idea was a rousing success—6.5 million homes now have DVRs. But for Shannon the experience ended in a crushing failure. TiVo, a rival that hit the market just after Replay, made up for its late start with an easier-to-use product, and cable and satellite companies jumped in with cheaper copycat boxes. In 2001 new management stepped in to try and revive the franchise by offering slick features such as the ability to swap copyrighted TV shows over the Internet, all but daring Hollywood to wage a legal counterattack. It was a fetal miscalculation. Irate studios paralyzed the company in court and Replay ultimately dissolved in bankruptcy in 2003.
