• After being told (repeatedly) that I should work for TiVo, since I'm always telling people how good their devices are, I decided to make this web page.   I'm hoping it'll answer a lot of questions that people have about TiVo, without the usual marketing hype that you'd find on a corporate web page.   So, in no particular order, here are a lot of the questions that people ask me about TiVo, answered once and for all: .
• What is a TiVo? .
• TiVo is a company, here is their web site.   TiVo is the manufacturer of the TiVo software which is used to power their Digital Video Recorders (DVR) which is sometimes also referred to as a PVR or Personal Video Recorder.   TiVo's software is also used in boxes sold by Sony, Phillips, AT&T, Hughes, and Thomson (in the UK). ...
•   A TiVo knows the network schedules, it knows which shows are new, which shows are re-runs, what time all the shows are on, what actors are in them, and, best of all, it knows what you like. ...

• The Register » Personal » BBC hijacks TiVo recorders.
• Users of the TiVo digital video recorder have reacted angrily to a new sponsorship feature that automatically records certain programmes, adverts and other promotional material.
• One of TiVo's more innovative features is its ability to recommend programmes based on viewing habits, such as watching every episode of a soap opera or every film starring a certain actor.
• TiVo defended the new "Advanced Content" feature, insisting that it doesn't adversely affect a viewer's usage of the system. ...
• Vice President of TiVo Europe, Andrew Cresci, told The Register: "This feature provides an innovative new way for networks and programmers to deliver interesting, new or exclusive content to TiVo subscribers. ...
• Some viewers have complained that the feature amounts to a hijacking of TiVo boxes with little regard for the owner's wishes. ...
• "The feature was not introduced as 'opt-in' because as with similar features like Channel Highlights and Inside TiVo, these features are optional for users to use," he explained.
• Although there have been complaints about license fee money being paid to TiVo, which still has a very small audience in the UK, it is clear why the BBC would want to promote "Dossa and Joe" in this way.
• Forcing "Dossa and Joe" upon the nation's TiVo owners, some of who are sure to watch it and then tune in next week, can only help.
• But ironically, due to the BBC's notoriously bad time-keeping and TiVo's strict adherence to schedules, the programme started late and therefore any TiVo viewers watching the recording would have missed the last few minutes.
• Meanwhile, TiVo sponsorship in the US has been introduced in a more commercial way this week, as the system automatically recorded a video promoting Sheryl Crow's new album, along with two adverts for TiVo's distribution partner Best Buy.
• These recordings were part of a strategy announced last week, described by TiVo as "advertainment" that "establishes far deeper communications with consumers".
• Although viewers own their set-top box, TiVo has free rein to update the system software and add new features.
• And although there has been a backlash from some US viewers, there is little difference between what TiVo is doing now and the 'interactive' advertising on British satellite and cable channels. ...
• Another marketing strategy that TiVo has already trialled but not yet introduced is expected to combinine census data with personal information supplied by the viewer to deliver targeted advertising based on location, age, gender, wealth and lifestyle. ...
• Sky falls down on digital TV recorder You cannot record this programme TiVo recorders 'unusable' with Philips TVs.

• TiVO.
• TiVO .
• Marc and Scoble wonder why TiVO hasn't taken off yet. ...
• I think TiVO also suffers from a major case of pathetic marketing. ...
• Ask people who are not technology-savvy about the advantage of TiVO over a plain old VCR. ... TiVO is marketing itself as a replacement for the VCR, but in fact is nothing more than a companion to it. “I can't go to my favorite video store and rent a few flixs to play on my TiVO, can I? .
• What is this thing good for?” You can buy a VCR for around $40 nowadays, versus $200 for a TiVO box. ...
• I've seen a few TiVO units with build-in DVD players, but what about a build-in video player? Last I looked Blockbuster and Hollywood Video still have more VHS offering than DVDs. Everybody has a VCR, yet, TiVo, its wanna-be replacement, is really not compatible. ...
• A few years back, I received a flyer from my old cable company, AT&T Digital Cable, promoting their TiVo-enabled unit. ...
• But I can record a show while watching another live, a single-tuner TiVo unit can't. ...
• Of course TiVO makes everything a lot easier, but as far a John Doe customer is concerned it is certainly not compelling enough. ...
• TiVO needs a hook, like Apple with the iPod's coolness factor. Relying on movie stars blabbing about how much they like their TiVO on late night talk shows is not going to cut it in the end. ...

• TiVo Ethernet.
• The TiVo is a marvellous toy, but it lacks one really important feature - an ethernet port! We have set out to fix that by building an ISA bus adapter for the TiVo, and then using that to attach a standard (and cheap) ISA ethernet card.
• The adapter board consists of a PCI edge connector for the proprietry bus on the TiVo (it uses a physical PCI connector but is completely different from PCI electronically) plus a 16 bit ISA connector. ... 3 used on the TiVo to the 5V for ISA, and a GAL which Paul programmed to map the TiVo logic to ISA logic. ...
• On the TiVo we just had to setup the bank registers (we used BR5) to map the ISA bus into memory with appropriate timings and setup the interrupt controller to have the right settings for the ISA interrupt line. ... This is mapped into virtual memory using a hardwired TLB entry kindly put there by the TiVo people for use by their own development ethernet board.

• On the TiVo side, the mini-stereo (TRS mini-plug) connector is wired like this:.
• It can also be used for other purposes such as telephones and 100Base-T networking, so if you ever get rid of your TiVo (shya, RIGHT!) the cable can be re-used. ...
•      For mine, I bought two DB-9 adapters and wired them with cross-over serial pinouts (swapped Pins 2&3 on one of the adapters) and ran CAT5 twisted pair cable between them so it would reach all the way into my server room, then I connected it to the DB9/TRS cable that came with the TiVo to complete the connection.

• The dark side of TiVo.
• 11 — TiVo television recorders that allow viewers to replay programs and skip commercials have turned casual TV watchers into prisoners shackled to sofas, unable to keep up with the flood of their favorite shows. ...
•        TIVO’S BIG SELLING POINT for many customers was the idea that they no longer needed to live their lives according to the TV schedule. ...
•        “I love my TiVo and get separation anxiety when I spend too much time away from it,” said Cori Martinelli, an economist with the U. ...
•        The TiVo digital video recorder, a videocassette recorder-sized black box that attaches to the back of a TV, functions like a computer hard drive, storing programs the user has scheduled to record. ...
•        Fanatical TiVo users complain that their TiVo quickly fills up with shows they can’t bear to delete, from self-improving educational fare like “NOW with Bill Moyers” and “Chimps: So Like Us,” to less cerebral programs such as “Sex and the City. ...
•        Like an ever-growing stack of magazines on a coffee table, the TiVo glut promises many enjoyable hours of entertainment. ...
•        Many TiVo users say they bought the device thinking it would allow them to take greater control of their TV watching. ...
• TiVo user .
• ‘TIVO MISER’.
•        For something designed to solve a simple problem — making recording TV shows easy and reliable — TiVo has created whole new categories of need.
•        Only TiVo fans know the radical disappointment of settling in to watch a recording of, say, a biography of actor Johnny Depp, and discovering that TiVo has captured a kitchen knife infomercial instead.
•        TiVo obsession can reach the point where viewers routinely turn the device on just to do maintenance tasks, such as saving shows due to expire that haven’t been viewed or deleting duplicate shows recorded just in case the original was not recorded. ...
•        Bedard rates himself a “TiVo miser” because he records programs selectively and is quick to delete them so he has plenty of room on his hard drive for new recordings.
• TiVo users can set the device to record programs one to five minutes longer than their scheduled finish time.
•        There are companies that offer disk drive upgrades for people who want even more room for recordings, and a few customers have more than one TiVo in their homes, said Brodie Keast, senior vice president and general manager of TiVo Service.

• Will shut down the myworld program on a TiVo. The myworld program is the brain of the TiVo. Shutting it down is not advisable since the only thing you can do with the TiVo at that point is use the BASH shell if you activated one. If you do have a BASH prompt you can rerun the myworld program to get the TiVo running fully again. If not you need to power down and up the TiVo to get it fully functional again. ...

• TiVo Hacks 100 Industrial-Strength Tips & Tools By Raffi Krikorian .
• Editor's note: In the previous hack we published from TiVo Hacks, we showed you how to use the TiVo Control Station to populate your TV screen with the latest weather forecasts, sports scores, stock quotes, and more, without ever leaving your couch. (Handy if your couch resides in a house near the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where Hurricane Isabel is making landfall as I type this!) This week we bring you two more TiVo hacks. They may not save your bacon, but if you're on the road and forgot to schedule recordings of your favorite programs, our first hack shows you how to use TiVoWeb to remotely program your TiVo. And if you're running out of hard disk space for downloaded videos, our second hack shows you how to play downloaded video streams right from your TiVo over your home network. ...
• Scheduling a recording with TiVoWeb is rather like doing so through TiVo's television interface. ... You'll be presented with a page reminiscent of TiVo's Search by Title screen, as shown in Figure 5-10.
• Because TiVoWeb has its fingers into the same hooks as the TiVo's WishLists, its search functionality is far more flexible than its TiVo counterpart. ...
• When you click the Search button, TiVo will chug on for a bit, finally returning anything it found matching your search criteria. Figure 5-11 shows some of the results of a search for the Title Keyword of "phoenix" when run on my TiVo.
• As shown in Figure 5-12, you'll be presented with a list of all episodes already recorded on your TiVo, along with upcoming episodes.
• Unlike the Home Media Option Hack #64 , the TiVoWeb is running right on your TiVo box itself. ... Set your Recording Options (see Figure 5-14), and click the Conflicts link to ask the TiVo to check whether it can actually record the show.
• If you simply do not believe it, grab your TiVo remote, navigate to the To Do List (Pick Programs to Record → To Do List) on your television or on your computer Hack #67 , and you should see whatever you asked to record on the list.
• Hacking TiVo TiVo addicts: View the latest sports scores, weather forecasts, stock quotes, and more without ever leaving your couch. This excerpt from O'Reilly's TiVo Hacks shows you how to use the TiVo Control Station to populate your TV screen with whatever information it is that you just can't live without.

• Topics > Electronics > Personal Video Recorders > TiVo > TiVo Cozies Up to PCs, Satellite   Upcoming services include 'TiVo to Go' and support for high-definition DVR. ... com Friday, January 09, 2004 LAS VEGAS -- TiVo will soon offer new services through its Home Media Option, notably the ability to transfer and burn recorded programs using a PC. At a press conference here at the Consumer Electronics Show, company executives also unveiled several upcoming hardware devices, including TiVo's first high definition-ready device produced in cooperation with DirecTV.
• Owners of the TiVo Series 2 hardware who have networked the device with the $100 Home Media Option will be able to transfer recordings to a PC to view or burn to DVD disc, says Mike Ramsay, TiVo CEO. The new "TiVo to Go" service bundle will include hardware and software components, both due this fall. ...
• The TiVo Content Security Key is the hardware portion. TiVo designed it to ensure recorded content stays secure--which means you can't share it over the Internet, Ramsay says. ... To access TiVo content on a PC, or to burn it to disc, you must insert the key into the PC. ...
• The software component comes from Sonic and includes a TiVo-enabled version of the MyDVD and CinePlayer applications. ...
• Networking Enhancements In addition to TiVo to Go, Ramsay described several recent and upcoming features for TiVo owners with the Home Media Option and a PC. ...
• Chief among them: the ability to access satellite radio through TiVo. ...
• TiVo users will be able to access XM's numerous radio feeds using the TiVo remote and interface. The PC streams audio to the TiVo over a home network, and the content doesn't take up space on the device's hard drive. ...
• And a TiVo-enabled version of MoodLogic can be used with the Home Media Option to categorize and play MP3s through TiVo. ...
• Upcoming Hardware TiVo also unveiled several new hardware devices, including its first-ever high-definition-capable unit. ...
• TiVo executives offered a few hardware details, however. Notably, the unit doesn't compress the high-definition signal (current TiVo DVRs compress standard-definition broadcasts to fit more programs on the hard disk). ...

• TiVo announces new free bundled Basic service.
• Last week, Ryan posted a rumor that a basic tivo service was coming out and it looks like it is true after seeing their latest press release: Switching Channels: TiVo Revamps Strategy.
• TiVo Basic will be freely included with some new upcoming PVR devices from Pioneer and Toshiba. TiVo Basic appears to offers live TV pausing, up to 3 days of show data that you can set recordings by hand, but repeat recordings are only by time and channel, with no season passes.
• My guess is most people buying a DVD player or set-top box that includes TiVo Basic would just stick with the included features, and that the convenience of extra features don't seem to be worth $13/month. ...
• TiVo announced the "TiVo Basic" service a month or two ago (when the Pioneer DVD player was announced).

• Whether you follow the company or not, you have to admit that TiVo's (Nasdaq: TIVO) got a pretty cool product. ...
• That's why the real gravy for TiVo is its budding subscriber service. TiVo truly struts its killer-app stuff with its ability to download localized programming and then record shows you like -- and even shows it thinks you might like based on the shows you like.
• So investors might forgive TiVo for posting a wider second-quarter loss last night, given that the company landed another 90,000 subscribers and plans to top the million-user mark over the holidays. ...
• TiVo has learned to let others do the dirty work of getting enabled devices into homes. In addition to the Hughes (NYSE: GMH) DirecTV-TiVo systems that are already selling briskly thanks to a big marketing push from Hughes, Pioneer (NYSE: PIO) and Toshiba are rolling out DVD players with TiVo recorders. All told, holiday shoppers should have 10 different TiVo-related products to choose from later this year.
• Last week, our own Lou Lofton pitted TiVo against Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX) in a classic duel. Always open to the possibility of a win-win, David Gardner recommended both -- first Netflix, then TiVo -- to subscribers in Motley Fool Stock Advisor.
• Netflix is now profitable, and while TiVo expects to post another loss here in the third quarter, high-margin subscriber growth has a way of kick-starting the bottom line.
• TiVo wouldn't mind following Netflix into market-darling land. ...

• Actually, now that I *have* a TiVo, I can see how this sort of functionality could be added *so* easily to an existing TiVo through a USB port at the back. You may not know this, but if you want to use Ethernet or WiFi on a TiVo instead of a phone line (for the schedule and software updates) you just go out and buy a generic USB-based network card and just plug it in to connect it to your network. ... Now every time you go to record a show, your TiVo could ask you if you want a copy for your phone as well. ...
• That's never coming to Tivo. Tivo is completely draconian in its opposition to accessing saved programming. ...
• I think TiVo is scared of litigation from RIAA and the rest of Hollywood. ...
• What I'd love to see is for a tivo-like device to be able to talk to my phone over bluetooth, automatically upload as much stuff as will fit on it over night via obex, and interogate a peice of software on board as to what, if anything, I watched yesterday (if available). ...

• Wheels Turning: Mobile TiVo.
• And my thought? TiVo. ...
• I just got to see TiVo in person when I came back to the States last month. ...
• Here's how I envision the process - in addition to the full-on MPEG4 video that's being recorded by your TiVo, it would also saves a smaller condensed version for mobile viewing right alongside. ... Thus your TiVo would be connected to the Internet and simply use a server-side reflector to stream the content to your phone. Because the recorded material has already been processed during the recording, all you need to manage is the connection and controls from your local J2ME app to your TiVo. ...

• The code, called ExtractStream, allows users of TiVo digital video recorders to move compressed copies of television shows from their beloved TiVo boxes into their computers, and beyond. ...
• "Even though TiVo, understandably, can't admit it," says one member of the group who asked to remain anonymous, "this code's good for everybody. ...
• Not only is the ExtractStream code extremely useful -- enabling TiVo users to back up and share their digital files of television programs, or start their own TV show libraries -- but it is also subversive, giving consumers yet another way to thumb their noses at entertainment moguls. ...
• "Have you not gotten your mind around the fact that TiVo will NOT be happy about this and will most likely bring the party to a screeching halt? I like my TiVo and I like being able to pick it apart. ...
• For everyone who ever enjoyed tinkering with a TiVo, added another, "it's the end of the world as we know it. ...
• Few other commercial hardware products released in the past few years have inspired as much passion as TiVo, particularly within hacker circles. TiVo is not alone in allowing users to play fancy tricks with TV programming -- fast-forwarding through commercials, pausing live-action broadcasts. ... But TiVo stands nearly alone in one respect: It has somehow managed to appease the fears of content creators while at the same time seducing hackers. ...
• So hard, in fact, that previous to the release of ExtractStream, another hacker who had created his own version of the software declined to release his hack to the general public after discussing it with TiVo. Why? Simply put, says open-source-software programmer Andrew Tridgell, "because TiVo is doing a damn good job. ...
• But can TiVo keep hackers happy indefinitely in an industry where every technical innovation is viewed as an act of war against the established entertainment industry? Tridgell held back, but the ExtractStream hackers did not. The question now is whether their software release will tip the balance and end the love affair between TiVo and the geeks. ...
