Μετά από μια αρκετά chrome-ατιστή εβδομάδα, ήρθε η ώρα πιστεύω να αρχίζουμε να ξεθάβουμε μικρά αλλά σημαντικά νέα που δεν ακούστηκαν τόσο λόγω Google. Amazon Video On Demand Κάνοντας μια στροφή λοιπόν σε μια πιο in-browser υπηρεσία, το Amazon ανακοίνωσε την μετονομασία του “Amazon Unbox” σε “Amazon Video On Demand”. Η διαφορά της ανανεωμένης υπηρεσίας σε σχέση με τον προκάτοχό της, βρίσκεται στον video player μέσα στην σελίδα του Amazon, μέσω του οποίου οι χρήστες ...

Filed under: HDTV, Home Entertainment It's official, Amazon has moved Unbox-replacement Amazon Video on Demand out of beta for Mac and PC users, while confirming rumors the still-in-beta BRAVIA Internet Video Link service is open to all Sony HDTV owners. The streaming option (you can still download and watch via Unbox on PC or TiVo, and no matter how they're purchased, content is added to the Your Video Library accessible from the web or IVL) ...

Filed under: HDTV, Home Entertainment Aw, snap. Not even 24 hours after we learned that a new DirecTV HD TiVo was on the way, in flies word from Denver that a new standalone TiVo is hitting even sooner -- like, today. The TiVo HD XL will become the flagship unit in TiVo's line by offering up 150 hours of high-def recording space, THX certification, a Series3 premium backlit remote and a bundled HDMI cable. As ...

The TiVo HD is a good, cheap alternative to the recently de-listed TiVo Series 3 for people who didn't need all that much storage and all that many fancy features. But what if someone wants even more built-in storage than the 20 hours of HD that the TiVo HD provides? They've now got the TiVo HD XL. This beast offers 150 hours of HD recording, plus it's THX certified; it's always been a technicality, since ...

TiVo and DirecTV have a chaotic history, but now that it's all straightened out, the two companies can move forward to release new hardware. Now they're planning a follow up to the HD DirecTiVo, the aging, discontinued HD TiVo platform for DirecTV that used inefficient MPEG2 encoding. Expected in the second half of 2009, the new TiVo HD will support MPEG4 recording and newer TiVo features like Swivel Search. As a former TiVo user who's ...

DirecTV (DTV) was once TiVo's (TIVO) most important business partner and greatest source of subscribers. That all ended in 2005 when DirecTV said it would stop marketing TiVo in favor of set-tops made by NDS, a unit of News Corp. (NWS) which then had a controlling stake in the satellite TV company. But now DirecTV is controlled by Liberty Media (LBTYA), and the company is going back into business with TiVo in a bigger way: ...

TiVo held their quarterly call yesterday and, while I don’t pretend to be financial analyst, I’ll share my uninformed observations. As TiVo sometimes does, the Investor Relations group began their earnings day by releasing a bit of fluff news to the press - I don’t know if this is designed to distract the market to soften the blow, juice the stock price, or what. Regardless, I didn’t bite. The quarterly results seem generally positive… TiVo ...

TiVo closed out its second profitable quarter in a row on July 31st, but don't call off that deathwatch just yet -- the company followed up the good news with a gloomy Q3 forecast to the tune of a $7M ...

Actually, that'd be Tyler who's wondering: "I'm using an HD DVR provided by my cable company, and most times, it works well enough. I've heard that TiVo boxes are superior, though I'm having a tough time justifying the additional monthly cost. I'd love to ...

One thing TiVo (TIVO) likes to do: pre-announce incremental business deals ahead of earnings. But this one is weak even by their standards: TiVo users will now be able to automatically record shows suggested by the sage staff of Entertainment Weekly. It's part of CEO Tom Rogers' plan to do a deal with anyone -- anyone -- who can help make TiVo look like more than just a regular DVR. But the ideas aren't coming ...

Woot’s offering the TiVo HD (refurb) for a low $165, shipped. Like all Woot deals, you’ll need to act fast. As in today. And before they sell out. I believe this is the lowest we’ve seen THD and it’s a great price to get in on. With the money you save, I suggest picking up the very nice TiVo Glo remote to replace the traditional TiVo controller - unless you’re using a Harmony or similar. ...

I’ve noticed a decent amount of energy waste coverage lately. The general theme has been specific to devices that consume electricity while in standby mode or even powered off. While I’m lazier than I am cost conscious or environmentally aware, it did get me wondering what exactly goes on in my apartment. So I went around my place with a Kill A Watt measuring the consumption levels of various digital media hardware (and a few ...

Matt of PVRBlog noticed a comment in a New York Times profile of Jon Stewart and posted it: The day begins with a morning meeting where material harvested from 15 TiVos and even more newspapers, magazines and Web sites is reviewed. That sparked discussion and speculation that Jon was using ‘TiVo’ as a generic reference to some other DVR setup, but no, a ...

“Like any remote, the designers were adamant about keeping the remote’s button layout as simple as possible. But with the DVR’s numerous features, the designers needed to create lots of extra buttons. To keep things straight, each button needed to have a distinctive feel, giving the ability to control the remote without even looking at it, which Newby described as a “key Braille-ability” surprisingly helped by the “blank finger parking spots between keys” that were ...

Those of you holding off (for some reason) on buying a Series2 TiVo now have little to no excuse. Amazon.com has the 80-hour dual-tuner Series2 TiVo for $187.95 with a $150 mail-in rebate, bringing the grand total to a paltry $37.95 when the dust clears. You’ll need to add the service starting at $12.95 per month but hey, it’s worth it. [via dealnews]Shared by JUSTIN (13) Matt (6)Contribute comment
