Sales of Scientific Atlanta DVRs are way up this quarter, according to this article from AP. They shipped 397,000 DVRs the quarter ending Oct 1, which is typically a slow quarter for consumer electronics. In comparison, Tivo shipped 288,000 units in their quarter ending July 31st.

With a two month lag between the two datasets, it’s not an accurate comparison but it goes to show there is more than one pony in the race to gain marketshare.
