Microsoft cuts jobs in TV unit | |
|
||
| Time: 10:24 EST/15:24 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

Microsoft plans to cut more than 150 positions in a major restructuring of its troubled television business based in Mountain View, sources close to the company said Monday. The reorganization will eliminate Microsoft's UltimateTV division in Silicon Valley, which has about 500 employees. About two-thirds of those employees will be consolidated automatically into other Microsoft groups. The remaining 168 employees will be given three months to find other jobs within Microsoft or face severance.The UltimateTV subscription service still will be offered, despite the restructuring of the division in charge of it. The service combines television-based e-mail and Web-surfing services with DirecTV satellite-television programming and digital video recording. But the $449 set-top boxes ran into serious delays before the launch of the service last year. | ||

I guess I should have gone TiVo... I feel a real skewering coming :( $300 down the drain. I was wondering why they weren't answering any of the emails they are being sent! TL |

They are going to be merging the functionality in with the XBox stuff in their new HomeStation initiative.

All I know is I have a $300 UTV (RCA) DirecTV DVR unit, I loved the darned thing even if it does have Microsofts name on it, I can't live without it any more, and I now don't know what it's future is...
