Laurie Sullivan from TechWeb says in the latest InformationWeek that a recent patent application filed by TiVo suggests that they plan on allowing the units to take advantage of RFID technology.

Remember the RFID-equipped gallon of 2% you brought home last week? TiVo says it’s within a day of expiring. Get ready to see some very specific ads. Got Milk?
