By Daniel Lim on Friday, Mar 7th 2008 2 CommentsAs an owner of a Tivo S3 DVR box, I have concerns regarding the widely-spread Switched Digital Video aka SDV utilized by Cable network to reduce bandwidth usage. TWC around my neighborhood is about to add 11 more HD channels to the lineup but the word on the street is, SDV may be deployed and possibly including with the newer addition of HD channels as well, Crap!.

Tivo team up with Photobucket and Picasa for online photo sharing
By Daniel Lim on Monday, Dec 3rd 2007 No CommentsGood news for Tivo customer with Photobucket or Google’s Picasa. You can now access your online web album up to HD resolution (namely 720p, 1080i) on your TIVO S3 or Tivo HD. Other features included sideshows, browsing and sharing with the convenient of Tivo Keywords search. Tivo used to has similar service with Yahoo! Photos but Yahoo ditched it right after acquiring Flickr. The latter choice is not much of an upgrade since Flicker is a much bigger photo sharing service in the industry. It would be nice if we could have all 3 of them.
Tivo Busting out of Set-Top Boxes and coming to your PC
By James Allan Brady on Wednesday, Nov 28th 2007 No CommentsThanks 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 of Open Source MythTV (and SageTV), Closed source Windows Media Center, and Closed source (but non-windows) Nero/TiVo TiVo service. I like choices, and the only thing that has kept me from getting a TiVo in the past has been the monthly fees, so, removing those by making me responsible for obtaining the proper hardware, well that’s fine, and I might use the TiVo app on my PC when it comes out.

TiVo unveil promo price-plans, resurrect lifetime subscription
By Chris Davies on Thursday, Nov 8th 2007 No CommentsThe 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 sign up for a three year contract, but now the $12.95 package is open to everyone. Pre-pay options are rejigged too, with the biggest reduction being $50 off the one-year deal (down to $129) while the two-year is reduced $30 to $249. They’re also temporarily bringing back the “lifetime” subscription deal, priced at $399.
