TiVo Premiere already has Pandora, but older models—the Series 3 and the HD/HD XL—are getting Pandora today. It works the same as Pandora on any other device, except it's attached to your TV and sound system. [TiVo]
We know that TiVo's hyping a major announcement on March 2nd, and now a tipster over at CrunchGear has provided some additional insight. It's all still just a rumor, but the details about the UI and HD menus make sense:
TiVo's leaked product manuals and product shortages have had us expecting something new from the company for weeks now. Today, invites went out for a March 2nd launch event, and if you trust TiVo, it's a big one.
TiVo's website is listing the TiVo HD—the company's core product—as completely out of stock. This isn't a retailer we're talking about here: TiVo is official out of TiVos. Is TiVo clearing the way for new models? Basically, yes.
I don't know if this is a pro-Western Digital story or an anti-TiVo story, but I just learned that the companies are so cozy together, DVR expanders from Seagate or others are officially blocked.
We knew TiVo was beta testing Amazon HD VOD,so it's not a huge surprise it's actually official today. TV shows and Movies will be available in HD with most videos supporting 5.1 surround sound.
I have watched the Digeo Moxi DVR evolution since it came into the world seven years ago. It was vapor we loved to love, but now, it might actually be living-room ready. UPDATED
Today, TiVo has begun implementation of a new feature allowing advertisers to insert text ads into paused programming. That's right, skipping those commercials is finally becoming impossible.
The TiVo HD is a good, cheap alternative to the recently de-listed TiVo Series 3 for people who didn't need all that much storage and all that many fancy features. But what if someone wants even more built-in storage than the 20 hours of HD that the TiVo HD provides? They've now got the TiVo HD XL. This beast offers…
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 …
Bad news for TiVo subscribers-the company is about to reach for new levels of advertising debauchery. If you thought those banners in the TiVo menu system were bad, know that the company is about to take things a big step further and invade actual television programming with Amazon as their partner. From the NY Times:
Amazon is offering a free TiVo HD with select television purchases, and not just the crazy-expensive ones, either. You can pick up a 40-inch Samsung (720P, 8000:1 contrast and 2 HDMI ports) for $947.71 and score the free TiVo (which currently runs about $230 on Amazon). The offer is also good for select Sony,…
For those who've been considering purchasing an HD TiVo but were hesitant about the price, Woot's deal today is a refurbished TiVo HD for $179.99 plus a reasonable $5 shipping. The first three months of service are free with the offer to delay the inevitable soul-sucking monthly payment scheme of most DVR services. […
The TiVo HD hasn't even been available for a year, but you can get your hands on a refurbished one for just $199. Head on over to the site before April 2 and you'll be able to grab one at the low, pre-used price as long as you purchase 1 year of TiVo service at checkout. The whole thing will be ($199 + $129 + tax +…
Rumor has it that TiVo will be accelerating the end of life process on the Series3 recorder to focus all of their energy on the newly released TiVo HD. Makes sense, whether true or not because the HD is nearly as powerful as the Series3 V1, just missing a few ports, that OLED screen and THX certification. At less than…
This is a semi-good deal if you've already purchased a lifetime subscription on your old Series 2 units and want to upgrade to a TiVo HD. For the medium, medium price of $199, you can transfer your old sub to the new unit if and only if you purchase an HD unit between October 11 and November 8. Plus, your old…
The rumors we posted are true: TiVo is finally getting its balls back. TiVo has confirmed with Gizmodo that TiVoToGo and multi-room viewing have returned to the new Series3 boxes—including the TiVo HD—and will be available in November. We are told that the hold up was DRM—getting the rights stuff figured out with…
TiVoToGo and Multi-Room Viewing are coming to Series 3 and TiVoHD boxes in November. [TiVo Community]
The Tivo HD is the product were waiting for but beginning to doubt. Because Tivo's Series 3 model successfully brought HD to the platform, but at a price reserved for high-end home theaters. So when news of the $299 Tivo HD broke, we were elated.
