DirecTV HD TiVo Update – Broadband Features!

TiVo, Inc. issued their financial year-end results today via a press release. Beside the numbers (profit is up, but not on a large scale; subscribers are down, but not on a large scale), there is an interesting tidbit on the progress of the DirecTV HD DVR:

“Additionally, we continue to work on our new DIRECTV HD DVR. The new HD DVR will include popular TiVo broadband features, and will be immediately accessible to DIRECTV’s entire national customer base on day-one of the launch. We have had a very successful history with DIRECTV and those subscribers are some of our most loyal customers. Now, as these customers look to upgrade from standard definition programming, they will have the option to choose the TiVo experience to help them truly get the most out of their high definition viewing experience.”

That’s really the first official news update we’ve had on the DirecTV HD TiVo DVR since the initial announcement last September. And, better yet, it specifically mentions that it will include “popular TiVo broadband features.” Of course, it doesn’t say it will include all broadband features, but if it has some, that’s better than any older TiVo for DirecTV. So we’re hopeful. Now, we could use a release date, and a price . . .

Maybe this is the largest TiVo ever?

In our last installment here at WKBlog.com, we wrote about the “largest TiVo ever” in the physical size category. Today, I have a different contender for the badge of “largest TiVo ever” in the category of hours of space.

Roxio Toast 10 Adds Mac2TiVo Support

Mac and TiVo users have been using Roxio Toast for years to transfer files from the TiVo to their Macs. But now, this new version of Toast adds a feature called Mac2TiVo, which is similar to what has been called TiVoToComeBack in the PC world. Basically, it lets you move content to your TiVo – in many cases without conversion. It’ll also stream many types of content, so your content can play instantly.

In addition, as in previous versions, this supports burning to DVD and CD, and conversion for iPod and iPhone. This is really the easiest way to pull content off your TiVo and stick it on your iPod/iPhone for later watching.

You can order Toast 10 from Amazon for $85, currently.
