TiVo Slide Remote is Here – Program with QWERTY

In stock and shipping today at $89.99, the new TiVo Slide Remote contains a full QWERTY keyboard. This means you can enter long search terms faster and more easily. We’ve been asking for this for a while and we’re excited that it’s here!

The remote is like a shorter, fatter version of the standard TiVo peanut. It’s even shorter than the original Series1 remotes – yet it contains all of the buttons of the newest remotes – and, of course, more.

Slide open the top like a cell phone to reveal the full keyboard, and type away!

More great features of the TiVo Slide Remote:

  • Backlit, like the TiVo Glo remotes
  • Learning, so it can work with many more TVs and receivers
  • Uses BlueTooth – no line of sight needed!

The TiVo Slide remote works with any TiVo Series3 or TiVo Series4 DVR including the TiVo HD and TiVo Premiere lines. This remote will NOT work with Series2 or earlier DVRs, or with DirecTV TiVos.

Lower Prices on TiVo HD XL

The TiVo HD XL is the last and the greatest of the Series3 TiVo DVRs. It has THX sound, a Glo remote with the 1-2 switch, and can accept two CableCARDs.

Since TiVo has stopped producing these units, we’ve got some special pricing deals on them, while supplies last.

The base unit is down from $499 to $349 and, if you get the special on our homepage before it’s gone, you can get the 2 Terabyte unit that holds over 300 hours of HD for $599!

DirecTV DECA and MRV Configuration Wizard

We know that the world of networking your DirecTV equipment can be a little confusing, but the new DECA products make it much, much easier. In most cases, you won’t need to run any additional wiring to get your compatible units networked together, and even to connect your system to your broadband internet access.

Most of our customers just want their Multi Room Viewing. And we’re here to help.

DirecTV’s DECA components are the key to making this work seamlessly. But, as a new product, we’ve been getting tons of questions about what parts to get for each room/receiver in the house.

So we’ve build a configuration utility on our site to make finding the products as easy as using them. Give it a try!

DIRECTV DECA MRV Parts Now Shipping

DIRECTV has done an amazing job of producing components to make networking their HD DVRs very, very easy. Essentially, they’re using the same SWM cabling (pretty revolutionary stuff in and of itself) to also carry your network to your DVRs.

Includes Ethernet Cable (not shown)

The idea is that, with a DECA adapter, you are now able to attach your DVR to your other DVRs, creating a network. And, if you put a DECA adapter on your router (you’ll need the power supply for  that) then you’ve just connected your DirecTV DVR network to the internet! So you can do Multi-room Viewing ($3/month DirecTV charge) and use the internet apps, on-demand, etc.

Further, the latest HD equipment from DirecTV, the HR24 and H24, have DECA built-in. You just plug in a SWM cable, and you’re on the network.
