Turns out it is a more general phase out of all Tivos. Here are a couple of cites.

I was thinking it was Sony-specific because a friend at Sony is the one who told us about the phase out. But I have been corrected by the person in my household who really understands all of this stuff. Contract through 2007, so should be okay until then. You'd think the news would result in a price lowering. I'd pay $500 for something that will be replaced by 2007, but $1k is a bit hard to swallow.
