• New TV Network To Take On TiVo and Other DVRs.
• Millions of Americans now have digital video recorders (otherwise known as DVRs or PVRs) thanks to TiVo, ReplayTV and cable and satellite providers who offer PRVs in their satellite receiver boxes. Users who have PVRs are now calling the physical act of recording shows with their hard drive recorder “TiVo-ing” even if the service and hardware unit they are using is not actually a TiVo. ... As much as consumers with PVRs rave about being able to “TiVo” their favorite shows and skip the commerials, TV executives and ad agencies are less excited. ...
• RipeTV’s CEO, Ryan Magnussen, calls it “TiVo-proof. ...
• Consumers might not like a “TiVo proof” TV network unless the content is truly fantastic. Much like Internet surfers can block pop under ads, TiVo users feel it is their right to skip commercials.

• TiVo: Endless Entertainment.
• That same TV also has a TiVo digital video recorder that lets us automatically record those movies and other shows to watch at our leisure. ...
• By installing a second TiVo (borrowed for review purposes) in our bedroom, we’re now able to transfer shows from the living room TV to the bedroom or vice versa. ...
• TiVo has also introduced an Internet-based programming feature. ... You can go to TiVo’s web page, sign in and select that show. Because your TiVo is connected to the Internet via your network, it will automatically receive the remote programming request and add it to its “to do” list. ...
• In case you haven’t heard, TiVo is the most popular of a new breed of digital video recorders (DVR). ...
• I opted for the wireless approach because it took only seconds to plug the adapters into the USB port on the back of the TiVo. ...
• The ability to transfer shows from one TiVo to another is a very cool feature, but it’s not quite as painless as I had hoped. ... I haven’t tried it, but a TiVo support person said that it would be much faster if I used a wired Ethernet connection instead of 802. ...
• To view photos or listen to music on your TV, you need a single TiVo and a small piece of software running on a PC or Mac that’s connected to a local area network. ... You can order up your music using the TiVo remote control and your TV screen displays the title and artist of a song that’s playing. ...
• Unfortunately you can’t use the TiVo to view photos and listen to music at the same time. ...
• I’ve had been meaning to add that to my TiVo’s “to do” list but kept forgetting. So I went to the TiVo web site, searched for “tour,” located the show and programmed it right from there. ...
• There is a one-time $99 charge for the Home Media Option but no additional monthly charges, unless you add a second TiVo. If so, you'll pay an additional monthly service charge to use that TiVo. ...

• Introducing Hacking the TiVo .
• All of these are true, but one often overlooked fact is that both the proof and the pudding are already available in most home electronics stores in the form of the TiVo. The TiVo is a personal video recorder that turns your VCR into a conceptual doorstop faster than you can say "buggy whip". Your local Best Buy, Circuit City, or similar home appliance vendor may never have heard of Linux -- but ask them for a TiVo, and sales folks will be stumbling over each other to lead you to a stack of product for sale.
• Why? Because the TiVo is a true home entertainment appliance. The TiVo automates recording broadcast video, eliminates media limitations such as the length of video tapes, and adds intelligence to the process -- it just does the right thing. Your Tivo sits in your home entertainment center, recording every instance of your favorite shows, every appearance of your favorite actor, or every intersection of those two (and more). You don't even have to know that things you're interested in are being broadcast for your TiVo to find and record them for you. ...
• As a product manager for TimeSys, a leading embedded Linux company, I was ecstatic when Premier Press approached me with their idea to write a book about hacking the TiVo. ... Instead, it's simply impressive that the TiVo has enough commercial and cultural momentum to have a publisher take notice. ...
• For Linux fans, the true beauty of the TiVo is that no one knows (or needs to know) that it runs Linux -- they simply know that it does what they want it to do, automatically. ... The TiVo proves them all wrong in one fell swoop.
• My TiVo will never flash 12:00:00. ... TiVo users simply create Season passes or WishLists that specify the shows that they're interested in, and the TiVo does "the right thing".
• Some TiVo detractors point at its monthly service charge as a big "uh-oh". ...
• " I wish that I could take credit for that, but the truth is that the folks at TiVo are real Linux devotees -- they participate in online discussions and drop nuggets of information that can lead anyone who is interested out of the proprietary forest.

• TITANS OF TECH When the Network Meets the Net TiVo's Mike Ramsay wants to plug viewers into more than cable and satellite -- and bets his digital video recorder can make the connection.
• TiVo (TIVO) is under siege. ... In the latter camp are most of the cable and satellite companies, which are mimicking TiVo's groundbreaking digital video recorder -- the Internet-era successor to the VCR that finds the TV programming you want, when you want it. ...
• But Ramsay, a veteran of Silicon Graphics, is ready for the fight; he cheerfully mentions that TiVo has already battled Microsoft (MSFT) and won (Microsoft canceled UltimateTV, a competing DVR, in 2002). He's bolstered TiVo's subscriber ranks to 1. ...

Expect TiVo to generate new business models, new forms of video content, new regulation, and a lot more controversy in the coming years. ...
• Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction was the latest in a string of high-profile "TiVo moments. ...
• But until recently TiVo's been expensive. ...
• TiVo is a hard-to-explain thing. When you first describe TiVo, people say, "Well, all right, that's great, but isn't that just like a VCR?" And you go, "Well, no, actually it's not. ... You can't describe TiVo in 30 seconds. You need TiVo to describe TiVo. ...

• The little TiVo that could: Can it survive cable's attack?By David Lieberman, USA TODAY NEW YORK — Who does TiVo CEO Michael Ramsay think he is? Doesn't he know that giants such as AOL Time Warner, Comcast and Sony are supposed to control the products and services aiming to help consumers manage their "digital convergence" — the torrent of entertainment and information flooding homes via cable, satellite and broadband? .
• Tivo has outlasted most of its major rivals.
• He seems to believe that TiVo — the software and scheduling service that drives compatible DVR hardware — can become as central to the TV as Microsoft's Windows is to the personal computer.
• So, while TiVo's far from a sure bet, it's the company to watch in the fast-changing convergence arena. ... "If any company can do it, it's TiVo. ...
• Ramsay hopes to make TiVo's service ubiquitous by persuading cable, satellite and consumer electronics companies to license and offer its consumer-friendly system for their DVRs. ...
• If he does, Morgan Stanley forecasts TiVo could have 3 million satellite subscribers by the end of 2006. ...
• Ramsay has been trying to convince them that TiVo actually will let advertisers grab viewers' attention more effectively through what he calls his "permission-based marketing. " For example, lots of subscribers choose to watch the movie trailers or mini-features on new cars that TiVo periodically records on their hard drives. ...
• Yet TV is just the start of TiVo's convergence ambitions. ... Subscribers could use their TiVo-powered DVR to send music from the PC to the living room stereo, send digital photos to the TV or transmit TV shows from one room to a TiVo machine in another room.
• "If you want to do this, now you have to go to TiVo," says Richard Green, CEO of CableLabs, the cable industry's technology certification group.
• That's one reason many investors remain queasy about TiVo. ...

• That puts TiVo out of reach for many who might value it most, Leichtman Research Group President Bruce Leichtman says. ...
• As a result, TiVo lost nearly $80. ...

• Inside TiVo.
• The launch of TiVo heralds hard-drive video recording in the UK. HCC's Bob Tomalski is given an exclusive tour inside TiVo's box.
• You have to see TiVo to believe it - or so says the slogan. ... Who better to explain than Nick James, the Head of New Product Development for TiVo in the UK.
• 'But TiVo is not really about 'computing' as such because the video signal does not flow through the main processor. ...
• 'It's this chip that does the hard work - and the reason why TiVo multi-tasks so well. ...
• TiVo uses a 40GB Quantum hard drive that delivers around 40 hours of basic quality recording. ...
• We wondered what chances for an enthusiast to simply add a second IDE unit; after all, they are relatively cheap nowadays? Also, what of data privacy? Could TiVo's servers interrogate the hard drive to see if we were recording - say - adult content? Says Nick: 'Although TiVo uses a regular IDE interface, it is cryptographically linked to the main board and therefore difficult to DIY upgrade. ... It uses a vector matrix format which is proprietary to TiVo and allows video, audio and subtitles to be rapidly processed.
• So there's no way that TiVo or Sky can determine what a particular viewer is watching. ... Usefully, TiVo downloads information about the box's operation in the daily call. ...
• So what bit-rates does TiVo support? On this, Nick was defensive.
• 'So we explain TiVo as offering from basic-to-best recording, which means from 2MB/s to 6MB/s. ...
• TiVo has the ability to output a programme from the hard drive to a VHS deck so you can free up disc space and archive a favourite recording. ...
• 'This happens on a frame by frame basis, so if a non-protected programme follows, TiVo will react to that and allow VHS dubbing. ...

• O Tivo, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?.
• Having the ability to fast forward means nothing when Tivo commits suicide.
• Tivo is a Dr. ... Tivo first appeared in my life this past Christmas as a gift from my loving husband (read loving as enabling as it is no secret that I have an unhealthy television addiction and have needed some sort of peer intervention for years now. ) Tivo seemed to be from Heaven, a mini-computer of a VCR that allows you to record shows while you are watching them, fast-forward through commercials, tape 40 hours of whatever the hell crap you want to watch and even make suggestions to you on which shows you might prefer. ...
• How happy was that first month spent with my Tivo! Never having to see another insipid car commercial featuring white yuppies in business suits swerving down empty bridges in their BMWs again! Never once resorting to watching re-runs of Murder, She Wrote (gasp, barf, heave) simply because I was that desperate, as desperate as a smack addict without any smack, to watch anything on television because there were 20 other shows I had recorded on my delightful little black box! Oh, how merrily the days past in television paradise and how my body began to waste away for lack of nutrients and sleep. ...
• Then, in the middle of programming 20 hours of Billy Wylder films, Monk episodes, Kids in the Hall, and my beloved EastEnders, Tivo turned into Evil-o. ...
• Anyhow, to make a long story short, after having Evil-o for only a month, I then had to spend 20 dollars to ship it back to Tivo so they could replace it because Best Buy wouldn't take the thing back as it had passed the 30 day limit by about 20 hours. And did I mention how after waiting on hold for another hour with Tivo to tell them about Best Buy, I had to speak to "BRAD" yet again? I am convinced Brad has cloned himself and made it impossible to talk to anyone else. ...
• Despite all this heartbreak, I still feel fondly about Tivo and miss it. I have composed poems about Tivo changing my life. I have painted portraits of the long deceased Tivo. I try to watch television but I grow bitter and irritable, mistakenly hitting the volume button on the TV remote, thinking it is the all coveted fast-forward button that Tivo's remote used to have. ...
• I have compiled a list for future Tivo purchasers of the reasons why Tivo is both Evil-o and the Television of the Gods. ...

Moreover, the impact of TiVo on the television and advertising industries is ambiguous, and TiVo needs to demonstrate that it can play a constructive role in the future media landscape. ...

• TiVo Will Die Three Trends Spell Doom for the Popular Personal Video Recorder .
• But, alas, TiVo will die. ...
• I was one of the first reviewers to get my hands on an early TiVo box. I compared TiVo with ReplayTV, and although I really wanted to like ReplayTV, TiVo won my heart over.
• And to top everything off, TiVo came with the world's best remote control ever, even more astounding for such a fiendishly complex device. ...
• But the acid test, for me, was when I plopped TiVo down in front of my computer-averse wife. ...
• But TiVo today has a problem — and it's not what you think. Most folks point to TiVo's inability to convince consumers just how cool the product is and why they need one.
• Give a TiVo to your friends for a month and you'll have to pry the remote out of their cold, dead hands. ...
• Instead, a convergence of three separate trends is conspiring to kill off TiVo. ...
• The first one, ironically, derives from the same technology that enabled TiVo to live in the first place: Moore's Law. ...
• The original TiVo was designed to suck in an analog TV signal, via either antenna or cable. ...
• And that's bad news for standalone PVRs like TiVo and ReplayTV. ...
• Then, if you're using a standard TiVo, that data is reconverted into digital form (MPEG) for time shifting and storage. ...
• TiVo realized this early on and swung a deal with DirecTV to build a combination PVR and DirecTV tuner. ...
• But since DirecTV had TiVo, archrival Dish Network decided to develop its own PVR/receiver combo. The Dish Player still lacks some of the basic show-finding features TiVo has had for years, including wish lists and season passes. ... But because the picture is better than an analog TiVo's, Dish customers have flocked to the Dish Player in droves. For TiVo, this has caused enough concern that the company has filed a lawsuit accusing Dish Network of intellectual property (IP) violations. ...

TiVo records additional programming based on its understanding of your tastes. While SnapStream's program can record an entire season of "Friends," TiVo can deduce that I might like "Seinfeld" as well, providing me with more episodes to watch whenever I want. ...

• Life With TiVo.
• You might think by this I am writing about Digital TV or maybe the Internet, but no, I am writing about TiVo.
• The technical story of television starts with TV versus radio, then color versus black and white, UHF versus VHF, cable versus broadcast versus satellite, analog versus digital, and now TiVo versus all of the above. Each of these technical milestones, with the exception of the very last, tended to increase the reach and power of television broadcasters, while the TiVo revolution threatens to destroy that power completely, taking it out of the hands of broadcasters and vesting it—at least for a moment—with viewers.
• Well, TiVo, by which I mean all the various types of Digital Video Recorders (DVRs), changes this mix completely.
• The most sophisticated DVRs, which means TiVo itself, even record shows you haven’t asked for just because they are somewhat like shows you have watched or recorded before. ...

And you're ready to spend the two hundred dollars burning a hole in your pocket, so the million dollar question is, "Which TiVo should you buy?" .
• Everybody's situation is a little different, and thankfully, there is more than one choice of TiVo box to buy to complement your television set. The first thing you have to decide is which of the two TiVo "series" you want: the original Series 1 TiVo, or the newer Series 2 TiVo. ...

Here, the TiVo will just record from channel 3 or channel 4, relying on the cable box to tune the channel. ...
