Big TiVo news for Tuesday
14th Nov 2006, 07:08 GMT
Thanks to a leaked embargo, you read about TiVo's Tuesday announcements include downloading internet video, sending your own video to other TiVo boxes (friends only, I would assume), and the downloading of CBS shows. There's no mention of mac support, so I assume there won't be any when they launch new versions of the TiVo desktop app. The first feature sounds like a nice transcoder add-on for the desktop software, which is useful and cool if you just want to show people some funny and/or interesting video without everyone having to crowd around your computer monitor. The second feature is the most interesting: being able to send video to other TiVo boxes (which sounds a lot like ReplayTV's feature from eons ago). I'm sure there will be limits on what you can send and who you can send it to, but it'd be really cool if someone setup a sharing community so if you forgot to tape something, another TiVo user could send the episode to you.
