New Tivo Features

Nov 28, 2005 9:57PM PST

I have written before about my desire for a tivo but not wanting to pay the monthly fees. There is a beta of new features that is out and has some features I might pay for. It is a partnership with Yahoo that would include local weather, traffic, and photos. Also would have internet radio and podcasts and upcoming movie info with trailers and such. Seems pretty cool.

Here is a link for screen shots

Tivo Question
Dec 4, 2005 8:30AM PST

Anyone know if Tivo will record HDTV? I want to get a plasma and a year and am wondering if I'll still be able to use it for that. I hope I can! It's awesome.

Makes me want a Tivo
Dec 8, 2005 8:36AM PST

I've been thinking about getting a Tivo, but had concerns about paying a fee for it. With the new partnership it makes me more willing to pay for a service to go with the hardware. Until this partnership announcement, I was concerned that they might be on their way out of business, but I'm hopeful that this will allow them to be around for a while.

Maybe it will also help with the proposed partnership with Netflix. That would really be will worth the fees. Imagine how great it would be to have a couple of DVD's at home that your just not in the mood to watch after work. So you go to your Tivo and have it download a movie for you before you head out the door in the morning.
