TiVo (TIVO) shares on Monday, June 29, 2009, lost 4.08% and fell $0.45 to close at $10.58. The slide in the price followed the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to permit Cablevision (CVC) and other cable operators to offer network DVR (Digital Video Recorder) service.

The new service will allow subscribers to record programs on centralized servers, instead of requiring separate set-top boxes with in-built hard drives. The standard TiVo DVR records and stores TV shows on a hard drive in the set-top box, allowing consumers to playback programming and skip past ads.

The first offering of $400 million will carry a rate of 8.20% and mature in 2014, and the second offering will have a stated interest rate of 8.875% and mature in 2019.Liquidity concerns have plagued CBS at a time of falling earnings, tight credit conditions and inhospitable equity markets.

No films were released in 1Q09.Because most of the 1Q09 earnings beat came from earlier-than-expected recognition of film production revenue, management raised the lower end of its 2009 EPS guidance by just $0.10 -- reflecting stronger licensing and film production revenue, and a lower effective tax rate.Though no new films were released in 1Q09, ...
