TiVo drives me nuts. On the one hand, I respect them so much for creating such a great brand in a few short years with and a very useful technology. On the other hand, why do they take so long to evolve their products? With the impending prominance of downloadable video content (i.e. the iTunes Music Store), recording programs off of a cable feed will soon be a thing of the past. It will be interesting to see whether or not TiVo can offer the kinds of services in the future to compete in this new era video distribution. They have already made one solid move by teaming up with Netflix, the DVD delivery company that is known to be developing an online movie download system. It remains to be seen who will reign supreme in the delivery of television content.
At CES 2006, TiVo finally announced Series 3 TiVo machines which will debut in 2006. The units will contain dual HDTV tuners and will support cable cards. They also will display program information on the front of the unit so we no longer have to wonder what our little TiVo’s are up to. This is great news, but is it too little too late? Will these machines be ready to interface with the likes of the Netflix movie store one day or will we have to wait, wait, wait for TiVo Series 4?
Adam’s FriendFeed- Just saw the Michael Jackson movie. Very depressing. In his element it's as if he was still in his twenties. Dude hadn't lost anything.
