Thanks to a new deal with Nero, TiVo is well on its way to hitting your PC. Sure, Windows Media Center has done a good job of dominating the DVR on a PC industry for oh so long, but it looks like they are getting some competition from a worthy competitor.
Soon you’ll have your choice [...]
Canadian can finally enjoy the famous TiVo service as TiVo announces its availability in Canada. Tivo Series 2DT is the only device that will be sold during the launch giving Canadian consumer up to 80 hours of recording time. The set top box sells for $199 at some stores such as Best Buys and Future [...]
The fusty cynic in me still baulks at paying a monthly fee for something I could get a decent facsimile of for free, but TiVo’s latest deals - supposedly “Holiday Promotions” - do tip the balance a little further in their favour. Previously you could only get the pay-as-you-go deal if you were willing to [...]
The guys over at Engadget HD (you know, the res is so high you can count every hair in their nostrils) have taken pity on everybody confused by the sudden surfeit of high-definition TiVo goodness, and have set about pitting the HD model versus the Series3 in a cage-fight brawl to the death.

Those Gizmodo boys - just when the weather is beginning to turn and get sunny, instead of playing outside with their friends they’re inside downloading films from Amazon Unbox direct to their TiVo. Shame on you! Anyway, they’ve been good enough to write up the experience for us; basically NetFlix over your broadband, only with [...]
Engadget’s reader, Matt sent in a tip confirming the price on the Series3 is, indeed going to be $800. It’s possible that Popular Mechanics got the scoop or they jumped the gun. I doubt that the Series3 will ever be sold at MSRP – I’d say the top price is no higher than $600. Popular [...]
