Matthew writes: His high holiness the most humble and exalted Michael Ramsey, Co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Tivo, and the most reverent L. Gregory Ballard, Esq., CEO of ReplayTV, have announced a state of holy communion between the two companies, negating all past excommunications, law suits, and legal actions without prejudice.

Subscribers to both services rejoiced, rallying in the streets and hugging their former enemies.

“I can’t believe it. For the first time since the invention of the PVR, we can live as brothers.” said TiVo subscriber Alan Cox, hugging ReplayTV subscriber Fred Ackerman. “Just last week, Alan and I were in a heated argument about the relative merits of our PVRs. I was explaining that having no separation of menu buttons for the recorded video and setup screens constituted a heresy–of course Alan disagreed. Now, it’s not a problem. All of our beliefs and preferences menus are equally valid.”
