L33tdawg: I wonder what impact Tivo would have if more cable companies start shipping video on demand. I mean, why bother recording something for playback at a later point in time, if your cable box already allows you to start, stop, pause, ffw, and rewind a movie whenever you please?
TiVo Inc. on Tuesday unveiled a new version of its set-top box that gives users improved options for digital television recording, and the ability to access services such as music, video-on-demand, and games via high-speed Internet connections.
The San Jose, California-based company said its TiVo Series2 DVR (digital video recorder) offers more recording capacity at a lower cost, with up to 60 hours of recording time.
TiVo's technology powers a personal video recording service that allows viewers to record shows on a hard drive for playback at a later time. The technology also tracks users' preferences so TiVo can suggest other programming.
