Let the doom and gloom stories about Tivo begin. Today Tivo announced that it's President Marty Yudkovitz was stepping down. He will remain with TiVo in a consulting capacity on certain continuing matters for a period of time.

"When I joined TiVo I planned to move my family to California, but as the demands of my role grew, the need to spend even more time on both coasts grew as well, requiring a heavy commute no matter where I lived," Yudkovitz said. "I've chosen instead to find the most logical time to resign as president and re-acquaint myself with my wife and kids."

Normally, I'd say forget about the doom and gloom stories, but since Mr. Yudkovitz is stepping down after being in position less than 2 years, there might be a little something to worry about. We'll continue to follow the saga of Tivo.
