Today, DVR manufacturer Tivo unveiled their new strategy for allowing DVR owners to download and play Internet broadband content. The functionality will be offered to users by the end of the year via a software update. "This new software, TiVo Desktop Plus 2.4, will support video content downloaded to PCs running Windows XP in formats such as QuickTime, Windows Media Video, and MPEG-4," says the company's press release. TiVo Desktop Plus 2.4 will cost you a one-time hit of $24.95. However, for subscribers that purchased version 2.3, it will simply be an upgrade. PVRWire has additional details.
