TiVo Premiere hands-on~!
Posted on March 2, 2010 | No CommentsGreetings! Nicholas and Jimin here live from the big TiVo Premiere launch in New York. There was a man guarding the device, which was hidden under a cloak, but when the cloak was lifted, oh dear! The gist: this is a TiVo you're probably going to want. HD menus (build using Adobe Flash), searching that actually makes sense, a fancy remote control, and other goodness that you wouldn't mind.

Series 3 TiVo boxes will NOT get the Premiere software
Posted on March 2, 2010 | No CommentsSorry, TiVo owners. Your TiVo HD and HD XL boxes will not be getting the swanky new software TiVo announced today according to an official TiVo spokeswomen we just asked. It probably has something to do with the fact that the Premiere hardware is the same as the current generation and therefore current owners would [...] -
The TiVo Premier is finally official
Posted on March 2, 2010 | No CommentsFinally. We finally have new TiVo models. The TiVo HD XL launched a long year and half ago and the UI is even older. But that’s behind us now, the TiVo Premier is here and it’s (nearly) everything we need in a DVR. Everything is different: the hardware, the interface, even the remote. (QWERTY!) With the [...] -
The AP leaks the first photo and confirms the TiVo Premiere name
Posted on March 2, 2010 | No CommentsWell done, AP. Thanks for giving us the very first look at what TiVo has in store for us later tonight. Too bad you had to go plaster your watermark all over it. But from what we can gather, it seems like the interface got an HD makeover while maintain the classic TiVo look and [...] -
Be on the lookout for TiVo news later today!
Posted on March 2, 2010 | No CommentsI don't want to alarm any of you, but today is TiVo Day! Yes, a little later on today TiVo will unveil something that's sure to please Matt Burns, if no one else. There have been plenty of rumors as to what the company has up its sleeves, but I'm sworn to secrecy. That, and it's been several months since they actually told me What's Up, and I simply do not remember what I was shown behind closed doors.

Rumor: Upcoming TiVo improvements include UI revamp and full HD support
Posted on February 11, 2010 | No Comments<
A tipster writes in with knowledge of some of the improvements TiVo may be making to its devices. The most important: a move to full HD menus, improved search, and the phasing out of Series 2 hardware. Because the company stopped making improvements to the current software as of the middle of last year, our source believes that aside from minor add-ons like Blockbuster support the old UI and OS will be replaced by a fully HD version, available at first on Series 3 hardware.
He describes the move as something akin to Microsoft's redesign of the Xbox Dashboard - a surface refresh that plays better with larger, HD TVs. This could also include new methods for adding apps and content to existing boxes.

TiVo schedules a March 2nd NYC event and we’ll be there
Posted on February 11, 2010 | No CommentsWe’ve known that TiVo was cooking up something tasty for a bit now. It could be the Premiere that leaked a few weeks back or something entirely different. We really don’t know at this point. But what we do know is that we’ll be at TiVo’s March 2nd event to get a good look at [...] -
TiVo sez Doritos commercial was the biggest hit in the Super Bowl
Posted on February 8, 2010 | No CommentsThanks to TiVo, we have a pretty good idea of what the most popular commercials from last night's Super Bow. Survey says: that Doritos commercial with the little kid telling his mom's date to keep his hands off his mother (fat chance!) and off his Doritos. America is a peculiar little country, isn't it, cheese-flavored chips and light beer as far as the eye can see.

Where did the TiVo HD go? New model launching soon?
Posted on February 3, 2010 | No CommentsLet’s say you want to buy a TiVo HD right now from TiVo.com. After all, it’s a great DVR with Netflix, YouTube, Amazon, and local networking streaming support. The only thing is you that can’t. It’s listed as out of stock. The only option available is the 1TB $499 TiVo HD XL. Does this hint [...] -
Comcast acknowledges 2005 by slowly rolling out remote DVR scheduling
Posted on January 15, 2010 | No Comments
Do you have a Comcast DVR? I do. I also have a TiVo, which has had remote scheduling since 2005. I can almost schedule recordings remotely to my Comcast DVR. Not yet, but almost – it’s not available in Boston yet, apparently. If you have a Comcast DVR, check out www.comcast.net/mydvr/ to see if the service has been switched on in your area.

TiVo Premiere leaked by manual mix-up?
Posted on December 30, 2009 | No Comments
It's about time that TiVo outs some new hardware and it looks like it might be sooner than later. The TiVo HD and HD XL have been sitting atop the companies mast unchanged for sometime now, while other DVRs like the Moxi keeps the updates rolling. But a little manual mix-up might show what TiVo is prepping to launch.
The story goes that Patrick McCarron upgraded to a TiVo HD and discovered that his box included a TiVo Premiere and Premiere XL setup guide. Now that's a little interesting because as far as anyone knows, those products don't exist. But from what we can make it, the info on the unannounced products seem to follow a evolutionary path from the current models.

FCC: The CableCARDS do nothing!
Posted on December 4, 2009 | No CommentsRemember CableCARDs? You probably don’t because most of us have never seen one. They were supposed to be a way to inject the magic of premium cable into OEM devices like PCs and DVRs. Instead they were hard to acquire, hard to use, and generally a bad idea. I would estimate that CableCARDs single-handedly led [...] -
Sad-Eyed TiVo of the Low Subscriber Rate
Posted on November 25, 2009 | No Comments
And… it's… outta here. TiVo is down to less than three million subscribers and they sold about 500 DVRs a day last quarter, giving it 8% of the 38 million US DVR market. That's not much.
TVByTheNumbers has the numbers. They're down 314,000 subscribers to 2.76 million and lost 146,000 last quarter. Rough stuff.

TiVo drops the prices of the HD and HD XL DVRs in the spirit of giving
Posted on November 18, 2009 | No Comments
TiVo has finally dropped the price on the HD and HD XL DVRs. These models have been rocking their initial MSRP for years now, but now they can be had for a little bit less. The 160GB HD model is now $249 and the 1TB model, $499 down from $599. Of course you still have to pay a monthly fee to use these DVRs, but I'm not one to snub a modest price drop.
