At WeaKnees, we’re the biggest TiVo fans on the planet. We’re also big fans of Apple products. Both companies focus on the customer experience with elegant, intuitive, and feature-rich software and amazing design. So now that Apple has launched the Apple TV, we decided to crack the case open and see what was inside.
See the rest of the internal Apple TV pictures on our forums.
Hopefully, you’re already aware of the best TiVo Tip yet. Here’s another one – not quite as over-the-top-amazing, but pretty handy.
It allows you to toggle your Now Playing list in two important ways: you can change the sort order and you can move the list into and out of folders, all with the press of one button each. More info here.
You knew they had to be out there in some warehouse somewhere. Well, we found them (or they found us). We now have stock of new DirecTV TiVos!
They’re all HDVR2 models, and we’ve upgraded them to various capacities. They weren’t cheap, so we can’t sell them cheap, but if you want new merchandise, we’ve got it, while it lasts.
See our DirecTV TiVo page for information about all of our standard definition DirecTiVos.
After one extension TiVo has set the deadline for transferring lifetime service to a Series3 unit for March 2, 2007 – Friday.
Technically, you were to have purchased the unit by 1/31/07, but TiVo is pretty helpfully not asking for proof of purchase date, and they’re just doing the transfer. So if you have lifetime on any TiVo, this really may be your last chance to transfer it over to a Series3. We have more info on a risk-free way to try this in our earlier blog post.
And one more thing: if you use Google Checkout for your upgraded Series 3 unit (65 or 100 HD hours) then you can save $50 by using the code “50offs3” on the Google Checkout site. That code doesn’t work on our site – you have to do it once you click the button that takes you to their site. In addition, they are offering $10 off for all first-time users of Google Checkout (and that would work on the stock, 30 hour, unit, or the upgraded units).
So if you want a lifetime transfer – do it by Friday!
