TiVo is the kind of company that isn't afraid of a fight. Over the last few years, it has turned patent disputes with AT&T, Dish, Verizon, and Microsoft into settlements and licensing deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And its CEO, Tom Rodgers, seems to enjoy publicly criticizing competitors, too. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Rodgers said that pay-TV companies that don't use TiVo devices are offering their customers inferior DVRs. "Even though they have the scale and they have the resources, it may not be in their DNA to actually be leading innovators," he said Tuesday at the Goldman Sachs Annual Communacopia Conference in New York.
