The Entire D6 Interview With TiVo's Tom Rogers (3 of 4)

We’re posting all the interviews from the sixth D: All Things Digital conference that took place in late May.

Unfortunately, due to issues too complicated to go into, we have to post all the D6 interviews in several 15-minute parts (I know, I know).

But–as many readers have requested–they will all be available in their entirety in this column.

The video of the interview is in four parts, which will all be posted this week.

In this third part, Rogers talks about how TiVo (TIVO) is trying to become the “one-stop” interface for cable companies, such as Comcast, and the troubled state of the broadcast television industry.
