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.
In case you have not heard, this weekend’s early switch to Daylight Saving Time is causing at least a bit of consternation among TiVo-lovers, not to mention IT professionals. It’s hard not to smile when contrasting the magnitude of a missing American Idol with to the doomsday scenarios painted back in the mid-90s.
Anyway, both DIRECTV and TiVo have official pages dedicated to DST and how to ensure that your TiVo’s recordings are not impacted by the change.
TiVo’s page is here.
DIRECTV’s page (which is really just lifted fromTiVo) is here.
Good luck!
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.
Here’s one that seems to be a bit out of left field: Earthlink will bundle TiVo services with its DSL lines. If you opt for the package, you’ll get access to Amazon Unbox. I assume the monthly pricing for the two services will be discounted from the cost of purchasing each independently.
I’m a little surprised. Certainly partnerships are generally a good thing, but TiVo is partnering with a company that largely sells DSL and dial-up internet access. The biggest competitors to Earthlink are other DSL providers, and cable companies selling broadband access via cable lines. I would personally think that TiVo has much more to gain by working the other side of the ISP market: the cable companies. Their partnership with Comcast should bear fruit soon and we’re all hoping they’ll re-ignite talks with DirecTV now that Liberty is in charge over there.
