I’m Reading…Saw this article yesterday announcing new features for DirecTivo boxes still in service (like mine). For some reason, it reminded me of this Monty Python sketch where the guy tells the dead collector that he’s “not dead yet”.
Engadget: DirecTivo Owners to Get Update in Early ‘08
The article details new features that DirecTV customers using Tivo [...]

As usual, 100% rumor, but worth passing on just because the quest for a reasonably priced, HD Tivo is worth the time and the text.
Very inexpensive case, likely due to the fact that this is a demo unit. Hard to believe these would be the final designs. Sounds like some enhancement to the [...]

Finally… we are getting a little bit closer to HD DVR nirvana.
These instructions on Engadget show you how to hook up an external SATA drive to your Tivo Series 3 to upgrade the external storage. Apparently, the secret is holding down the “pause” button on your remote as the machine boots up, and then [...]

There is a fun debate going on right now, in the weeks building up to the shipment of the Apple TV.
The question is, will the Apple TV be a disruptive engine that will radically reshape the economics of TV and Movies? Or, will it fall in the category of gorgeous, but underpowered boxes that fail [...]

Sorry, I had to add a quick post here about Apple TV.
I had lunch this weekend with some close friends, several of which have worked for Apple in the past. And I was surprised at how negative they were about the Apple TV.

I hate to post anything that even resembles something bad about Tivo, but…
My DirecTivo ate my 24 series premiere. Or more accurately, it failed to record the second 2-hour block last night.
I caught it part way through. At 8:45pm, nothing was recording. When I checked, I saw that for some reason, while my Season Pass [...]

Well, CES 2007 is underway, and the big news for me is the official demo of the Tivo software on existing Comcast Motorola HD DVRs…
From EngadgetHD:
They took their freaking time getting around to this, but at CES this week Comcast is showing off what they’d been promising to deliver for nearly two years: a cable [...]

Two quick hot tips today on the Tivo front.
First, PVRBlog is reporting a deal at Dell that can get you a Tivo Series 3 for only $510.98. This deal is so good it makes me wish I had HD already.
Second, PVRWire is reporting that you can, in fact, transfer your lifetime subscription from your DirecTivo [...]

There is a really good review of the Tivo Series 3 on the new Holiday Gadget Guide being hosted by Federated Media. It’s written by the guy who writes for PVRBlog.
Tivo’s going HD: The Series 3
Very balanced review, but I think it highlights the dilemna that everyone has. There seems to be no question that [...]

I usually don’t like to just post a pointer to another blog, but in this case, I have to.
John Battelle, clearly in an emotional moment, posted this evisceration of the Comcast HD DVR today versus his Tivo experience.
I had a chance to meet John briefly, as he came to speak at eBay about a year [...]

Nice coverage on Engadget of a hack to take the new, high-definition Tivo Series 3 to 1 Terabyte (1 TB).
Engadget Article
This gets your Tivo Series 3 up to 131 hours of high definition programming, which is not bad, but doesn’t quite match the 170 hours I enjoy on my DirecTV Tivo today (I [...]

Just a quick post tonight, but I couldn’t go to sleep without sharing one of my favorite “new device” events: the infamous “play-by-play” of the opening of the soon-to-be-released device on a website.
Tivo Series 3: Unboxed (PVRBlog)
Of course, being the true geek, my truly favorite event is when someone rips apart the box piece-by-piece [...]

The following post appeared on PVRBlog today:
Wild rumor: Series 3 TiVo out on September 13th?
This is a really big deal for Tivo fans out there, because for the last 12-18 months we’ve been in a sort of limbo. DirecTV has betrayed us by abandoning Tivo as their primary DVR platform. At the same [...]
