TiVo Update Embraces Internet Video
TiVo’s Season Pass option has always been a quick way to auto-record favorite TV programs, and now users can add Internet video to the mix.
Monday’s announcement from the company here at CES is a modest one, but allows TiVo users to pre-record their favorite web videos and view them on television, as well as in organized folders on a PC.
TiVo customers will be able to subscribe to video content from RSS feeds, ranging from network news to “indie” content from web shows like Ask A Ninja. Recorded Web video will appear in the Now Playing List along all recorded TV content. High-res Web videos will remain preserved in their original resolutions when viewed using TiVo Series3 or TiVo HD DVRs. The recorded internet video will be available both for television viewing and also, as an extra option, in a desktop folder.
PC users will need TiVo Desktop Plus 2.6, a new update to the Windows-based TiVo software that converts video for viewing on portable media players. The software update won’t be available until March, and it will cost new users $24.95, but will come as a free upgrade to existing subscribers.
