Well, not exactly. But a message at Blockbuster.com has a lot of people wondering what's up.

I NEVER -- never, ever, never -- thought I would see the day that TV was so important to me that I needed to record it ahead of time. I was wrong. The advent of TiVo and the DVR has revolutionized viewing for me and many others. Especially live sporting events.
