• TiVo.
• If the HD in my ReplayTV or TiVo was full and a priority 1 show came on, it would start erasing and "taping over" any priority 10 show it had stored, then priority 9 etc.

• TiVo to Sell User Viewing Data TiVo executives said they will be gathering information only in aggregate, such as by ZIP code and that the habits of individual users will remain anonymous. However, not everyone agrees that TiVo can't/isn't tracking individual viewing habits. ...
• Given the choice between tivo doing this and me not using my Tivo any more, I'll put up with it. I'd prefer if they didn't, but only slightly, whereas I would be tremendously upset to no longer have my TiVo, whose features are so addictive I have trouble watching TV on other televisions.
• Does the TiVo somehow help you figure out where the commercials are? Or is the "skip" feature akin to recording shows on a VCR and just fast-forwarding through the commercials? Is it as simple as a button that fast-forwards 30 seconds? Is the TiVo just massively more easy to program than a VCR? What is it that's so threatening to TV advertisers?.
• I dunno how TiVo's works, but ReplayTV's Commercial Advance skips the entire block when it works properly (when it doesn't, it skips anywhere from 5-20 minutes of a show). ...
• TiVo has a 3 stage fast forward button. ... Not that big a deal except that for TiVo users are basically recording every show before watching them, so they do the same things you might do with a VCR but they do it with nearly every show they watch. What we need now are some of those TiVo hacker/programmer gods to figure out some way to have the TiVo do random stuff while you aren't watching/recording anything to introduce noise into the data. ... I know I can now stream them off my computer, but I don't want to have to have my computer on all the time -- especially since the TiVo is already on all the time.
• Apparently you can opt out by calling customer service at 877-for-tivo (877-367-8486). ...
• I've always thought that once TiVo grows beyond the geek chic set, it could rival the Neilsen Ratings and actually offer much more granular data to networks and advertisers. ... If you were Pepsi and you had an ad during that show, you might want TiVo to give you data on all your commercials, so you could figure out how many TiVo owners that watched Friends watched your commercial at normal speed. ... I could someday see TiVo paying users to opt-in to more data, maybe even waiving the monthly fee if you agreed to give them more demographics. ...
• With the tivo, almost everything I watch is recorded. ... Is the TiVo just massively more easy to program than a VCR? Well, yes. ...

• Doubts about HD TiVo.
• Being able to record shows on a digital video recorder (DVR) like our TiVo is just bliss. ... However, there are some limitations to the current TiVo product, including no tuning of digital cable signals and no recording of HDTV content.
• The announcement of DirecTV's HD tuner/DVR with TiVo at CES was a big break-through. Finally, folks will be able to record HD signals onto a TiVo-type device. ...
• That basic box is what I want to see TiVo produce, but it isn't likely to happen any time soon for a couple of reasons.
• First, tuning ATSC (over-the-air digital programming) and over-the-air HD would fairly easy for a TiVo unit to do, but the number of people who rely on OTA signals for their HD content is pretty small. ... Instead, TiVo would have to produce a box that can either tune/record satellite broadcasted content or tune/record QAM (cable) content. ...
• Partnering, such as what TiVo has done with DirecTV, will be necessary. But, it does not appear that TiVo has had much success so far partnering with any cable TV companies (e. ... TiVo, in comparison, puts loads of work into enhancing the user interface and the whole user experience. ...
• So the upshot is that I doubt that we'll see a cable-compatible or "general-purpose" HD TiVo outside of DirecTV's unit any time in the next few years. In the meantime, I hope that Scientific Atlanta will license TiVo's interface so we can have the best of both worlds.
• Admittedly, I have done ZERO research on this because I'm a very happy DirecTV customer, but isn't the CABLE CARD standard supposed to handle this? Wasn't this a mandate to the cable companies and consumer electronics manufacturers to include integrated cable tuners into HDTV monitors? If that's the case, then TiVo should be right on that same bandwagon and be able to leverage their superior UI and brand name to spank the competition. ... The problem is SA, Motorola, and the other competitors are putting out cheaper versions and could commoditize the market so fast TiVo never profits from their innovations. ...
• I could envision a world where TiVo comes out with a 2 tuner STB with CABLE CARD integrated with the world-famous TiVo interface. ... The bummer is that the broadcast flag rulings force TiVo to put "reasonable" controls against "hacking" because TiVo (or TiVo hackers) would be happy to spin up a little webserver on that unit and let you stream TV from the TiVo to any display on your network, but that's a whole other discussion! ;-).

• tivo for radio?.
• No matter how smooth the drive, I'm always focused primarily on driving -- 2,800 pounds traveling at 90 miles per hour is just a lotta force -- and so I inevitably miss or mis-hear some comment and my immediate, almost unconscious, TiVo-trained, response is to think "rewind".
• What I really want is a TiVo-like device for my car radio. It doesn't have to have all the TiVo features, just a simple 10-30 minute buffer with pause and rewind would be fine.
• I remember there were many times when I got into the car and turned on the radio half way through a song and wanted to hear the whole thing, or missing the name of the artist or album which might have turned into a CD sale if I'd have had a radio with TiVo capabilities. ...

•   You'll find yourself quickly setting TiVo to record not only the upcoming episode of Survivor 17 - Mission to Mars, but every episode of the season (you just select the Season Pass option).
•   Because TiVo is always recording and keeps a 30 minute buffer of recorded material, you just have to scroll back to the beginning of the show and watch it. ...
• After a few weeks TiVo knows that you like to watch shows about computers and golf so it starts to record shows with those topics even if you haven't told it to. ...   Oh, but what if TiVo uses up your hard drive space by recording something it thinks you want to watch and, as a result, misses something that you have specifically told it to record?  Well, that doesn't happen.   TiVo only suggests things when there is extra space available.
• And what about regular old live TV watching?  Yeah, you still do some of that with a TiVO. ...   Well, with TiVo you can pause the TV and listen to your mom's story, and offer some platitudes and then return to the more coherent drama unfolding on your TV set. ...

• TiVo advocates say that TiVo's technology promises a similar, even more dramatic leap, one that will revolutionize the way people watch television. ...
• Not only do TiVo and similar products record and index a viewer's favorite programs on a hard disk (no cassettes necessary), it scans the airwaves for other programs that seem to fit particular tastes and puts them at the viewer's disposal. ...
• NBC recently announced plans to air 30-second "minimovies" during commercial breaks in hopes of keeping viewers from using their remotes or devices like TiVo to avoid advertisements. ...
• Despite all this, consumers just aren't rushing to buy TiVo. The tepid sales have even prompted technology writer Brendan Koerner to declare in Slate magazine last year that TiVo was "destined for the ash heap of history," condemned to fail by what the writer called "first-mover disadvantage. ...
• TiVo marketers, Koerner argued, needed to counteract the "first-mover" disadvantage by providing the right pitch for the average clerk at Best Buy (nyse: BBY - news - people ), and they haven't done it. How exactly is TiVo different from a VCR? Well, it is different, but the explanation isn't a simple one. ...
