TiVo’s Big Announcement

TiVo’s booked the The Museum of Television & Radio to unveil a new initiative of important developments with some special guests tomorrow. In light of TiVo’s upcoming presentation schedule emphasizing VOD, I’m guessing we’ll see some sort of new content download service and partners formally introduced. Given TiVo’s past video trials with IFC and yesterday’s … Read more

TiVo’s Academy Awards Contest

TiVo, Inc. and your Series 2 unit are hosting an Academy Awards competition. The subscriber who correctly picks the most Oscar winners will walk away with a 60GB video iPod. This is a fun use of HME… all we need now are folders.

TiVo’s CEO Video Interview

Reuters is running a juicy 5 minute web interview of TiVo CEO Tom Rogers. The reporter does a nice job in understanding the issues and asking Rogers the tough questions. If the business side of TiVo interests you, check it out! Here are a few highlights… “Having a DVR is not having a TiVo.” Several … Read more

TiVo Winter Olympics Recap

The results are in… and the Olympics were boring! Overall the US finished second in both total medal count (25) and gold medals (9) without Bode Miller’s participation. The HD was great, but NBC’s coverage just didn’t capture my attention. I also felt used in the way events and participants were edited together in prime … Read more

The Boondocks Cover TiVo

Aaron McGruder and I simultaneously honed our artistic and comedic skills as undergrads at the U of Maryland. Print was his medium of choice with The Boondocks, while mine was radio with Zatz Not Funny. Looks like only one of us succeeded. ;)

TiVo Is Dead? Again?

Let’s face it… if you’re a journalist, bashing TiVo is good for business. Very few companies inspire the cult-like loyalty and name recognition (a small player like) TiVo enjoys. There’s nothing like a negatory article to energize the masses. That could explain why every few months both the Motley Fool and Phillip Swann of TV … Read more

TiVo Valentine’s Day Recap

Couldn’t make TiVo’s little Valentine’s Day singles soiree? Me neither… Fortunately my secret TiVo Valentine sent me some clever party favors and Davis Freeberg reported his W hotel experiences. I still haven’t decided if this was marketing genius or lunacy, but the folks in attendance seemed to have a good time.

Mac TiVo Desktop Updated

TiVo offered up a little more Valentine’s Day love for us yesterday when they released TiVo Desktop 1.9.2 for OSX. So I went ahead and installed the brand-spanking new software. No new features as far as I can tell, but both Panther and Tiger are now listed as being fully supported. The good news: TiVo obviously has some Mac expertise on staff. The bad… if TiVoToGo for Mac were anywhere need ready to ship, I don’t think this package would have been released as an obvious stop-gap. The update doesn’t support Intel-based Macs, but I’m giving TiVo a pass on this one since Apple delivered 6 months early and few people have them in their possession.

Update: Bob Poniatowski, of TiVo Product Marketing, is hopeful an Intel-compatible TiVo Desktop will be available in 6-8 weeks. Additionally, Mac hacker Dennis Wilkinson has uncovered TiVoToGo-related code within 1.9.2. Makes ya wonder if Mac TTG is only 8 weeks out…
