<p>There's good news for TiVo, as the company yesterday reported a fourth quarter profit of $710,000 for 2013. While that may not sound like reason to celebrate for a multi-million dollar corporation, compared to the company's $15.8 million loss over the same period last year, it's kind of a big deal. For a company that's struggled in recent years to find a foothold in an quickly-shifting tech space, this latest news is really just a small portion of an encouraging trend of success for the brand.</p><p>TiVo has always had an appealing product, offering one of the first DVR systems in the industry, and presenting it with a gorgeous, intuitive interface. But competition on all sides has seemed to engulf the company as of late, putting it's subscription-based, premium set-top box paradigm in a compromised position.</p><p>First came DVRs directly from Multi-System Operators (MSO) like Comcast, who quickly began to cut into TiVo's customer base, and then simply block TiVo out of the equation. Then, there were streaming video sites like Netflix and Hulu Plus, coupled with low-cost streaming devices like the Roku and the Apple TV. Add in a dash of other innovations from other third-party vendors like the Slingbox, which allows users to send their TV content to mobile devices and computers almost anywhere, and you've got a lot of competition to contend with.</p><p>In the midst of all these new players, TiVo continued to innovate on its own. Last fall, the company unveiled its seminal creation, the Roamio DVR box, which basically offers a combination of every media service you could want, all in one stylish device. With the Roamio, you can record and pause live TV from up to six tuners, access streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime, sling content to mobile devices and computers, and even download it for offline viewing.</p><p><a href="http://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/series-wins-tivo-proves-theres-still-place-premium-media-devices-market/">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.deadline.com/2014/02/tivo-q4-earnings/">TiVo Announces $ 100M Stock Repurchase After Q4 Earnings </a> (Deadline.com)</p><p><a href="http://seekingalpha.com/news/1597913-subscriber-adds-buyback-put-tivo-near-52-week-high">TiVo Inc.
