Normally, I would just ignore small typos, but since you made the exact same mistakes consistently, there is a chance you are actually unaware, and will benefit from pointing this out:

> if they went with there [should be “their”] own premium streaming service

> Plex's Pass + Live TV service could of [should be “could have”] been there [should be “their”] subscription revenue

> a TiVo competitor to HDHomeRun's devices could of [should be “could have”] replaced their DVR revenue



Thank you.

Honestly, the "could of" is more of a "sometimes I write how I sound" thing, but anything else, is more of a middle of the night brain mush.

I actually re-wrote that bottom part at least twice because I had a lot to say, but didn't know how to say it concisely. As I was writing it, I kept having less and less confidence that any readers would have prior knowledge about I was writing about (ex: Plex, HDHomeRun, TiVo Edge), so I kept defining or explaining things in parenthesis and re-ordering the sentences; so at one point I just had to say, good enough, click reply

I hate lengthy/wordy comments that coulda' () been just a couple of sentences, but I also love to explain things in a way that a wide range of people can comprehend, so it's a battle at times. (this reply is a good example...reply)
