TiVo De-lists Series3 Boxes From the Online Store
TiVo's removed their Series3 DVR from the main shop, leaving only the TiVo Series2 at $150 and TiVo HD at $300. What's the upshot of this? To us, it seems like they're either phasing out the Series3 entirely in favor of the cheaper-to-produce TiVo HD, or they're liquidating the units for an upcoming Series4 featuring all those bad ass things we wanted. If you still adamantly want a TiVo Series3, you'll have to look elsewhere, since the entry buried deep inside the store is out of stock. [TiVo via Engadget] -

TiVo 9.4 Summer Update Hitting Boxes This Month
It looks like TiVo's 9.4 Summer Update has been released ahead of schedule and will supposedly be hitting every box by month's end. This update brings six new features, two of which actually seem really useful for most TiVoers. Folders will now have the option to be played or deleted, and the guide can be viewed at any time (while watching live TV, a recording, or even a download, but obviously not during menus). Since TiVo's 9.4 priority page hasn't been posted yet this update should hit your box as a total surprise while you're sleeping. [Zatz Not Funny!] -

Now Playing: TiVo2Go For Series 3 on a Mac for Free
The most recent update to Now Playing widget for OS X gives it the ability to download shows from your TiVo Series 3 and have it automatically decode for playing using TiVoDecode. This looks to be the free alternative to Roxio programs for watching TiVo2Go on your Mac. Although it's missing functionality to burn discs and sync to iPods, since you're decoding your content to MPEGs, it should be only a few more steps to get them to DVDs or portable media players.

TiVo Fights Cable With Cute Ads
I have to admit something: I unplugged my TiVo in late 2004, and have used high-def Scientific Atlanta DVRs ever since. I was sad to see the thing go, and to this day, I have diminished TV enjoyment because of it. You may know what I mean. More » -

Point: How is TiVo Doing After Launching Series 3?
