	TiVo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		TiVo systems function similarly to VCRs, but use non-removable hard disk storage, and contain much more sophisticated software to record programs—not only those the user specifically requests, but also other material the user is likely to be interested in.
		TiVo enthusiast groups located in countries where the TiVo is not sold have been able to reverse engineer the television subscription service schedule files needed by the TiVo and the protocol used during the transmission of those files to the TiVo.
		TiVo is porting their software to the Motorola 6412 cable DVR as part of this deal.

	Can TiVo Go Prime Time?
		TiVo's original position was that the device was like having your own TV network where you get to decide what's on and when.
		TiVo's program guide listed the awards ceremony as running for three hours, and when the show ran long -- nearly an hour and a half long -- many people using TiVo to record the show and watch it later (after serving dinner, for example) found that they had missed some of the most important awards.
		TiVo's task at hand is to preserve its lead and its premium brand as its competitors improve their offerings.

	CNN.com - TiVo: Jackson stunt most replayed moment ever - Feb. 3, 2004
		TiVo said that particular halftime stunt was the most replayed moment not only of the Super Bowl but of all TV moments that the young company has ever measured.
		One notable TiVo user apparently unimpressed with the performance of Timberlake and Jackson was FCC chairman Michael Powell, who launched an investigation into the bare-breasted matter.
		TiVo's top two commercials, based on user behavior, are both from Bud Light: a romantic sleigh ride interrupted by a flatulent horse and a sharp-toothed dog demonstrating his unusual way of scoring a beer for his master.

	Ars Technica: TiVo Personal Television Receiver - Page 1 - (4/2000) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		I guess they're de rigueur on the east coast, so my TiVo setup had to account for the fact that my channel changing is all done through this stupid box with a stupid remote.
		TiVo provides you with three control methods for folks who are in situations like me. First off, they provide a serial cable for those of you lucky enough to have DirecTV or another provider who supports a serial control interface.
		For example, using your TiVo remote, you hit '07' and 'enter', and TiVo then communicates the channel change through the IR controller.

	PVRblog \| TiVo, ReplayTV, and other PVR news and reviews
		I connected RCA cables from the TiVo to the slingbox and placed the IR blaster near the front of the TiVo.
		Personally, I think TiVo is doing about the same as it always was, but I'm definitely seeing them become a software provider for cable company DVRs, in addition to their own products.
		Since the box is single drive only and no external (though someone did hack their way into adding external storage but I wouldn't recommend such drastic measures), these kits range from 500 to 750Gb drives that offer up to 60 and 100 hours of HD recording.

		I am thrilled that TiVo is embraced by everyone in a household, and isn't a complicated device that only the techy members of the family can figure out how to use.
		You can tell TiVo Desktop which series you want to automatically transfer, and as long as you have your PC running on your home network, new episodes are automatically transferred as soon as they're recorded on your TiVo box.
		Today, TiVo began the rollout of TiVo KidZone, a new feature enhancement that for the first time gives parents the ability to ensure that parent-approved programming is always on when their children turn on their television sets.

	Hacking TiVo
		Second is the TiVo Underground forum, where all the TiVo hackers post about hacks, new releases, etc (I'm jkeegan there).
		To be able to telnet into your TiVo, you need either to run pppd over the serial line, or buy/build a TiVoNet adapter for ethernet.
		Slightly shunned by portions of the tivo hacking community, a tool called ExtractStream lets you pull video off of the TiVo's hard drive, and stream it to another PC for playing or burning to VideoCD.

	TiVo
		I'm told there's going to be a software fix for this soon: sometimes TiVo misses the end of a programme, because channels may not run to schedule or even run to the same clock.
		Tivo works, and it would be painful having to go back to using a normal video recorder again.
		We've also had a number of software upgrades from TiVo (this just happens, you don't have to do anything), and there's more functionality: we can add running time to a recording to avoid missing the end of a program; we can now specify actors/directors that we like; and generally the user interface has become better.

	oreilly.com -- Online Catalog: TiVo Hacks
		The original TiVo, the Series 1, is the most hackable TiVo out there; it's a box thrown together with commodity parts and the TiVo code is running on open hardware.
		TiVo allows you to pause live TV for any reason, like a refriderator or bathroom run, and pick up right where you left off.
		While TiVo is not against people hacking their platform, they do have a media service to run, and they don't want people to freely play around with some of the stuff they intend to make money on down the road.

	TiVo Series 2 review by PC Magazine
		In fact, TiVo has entered the American lexicon as a verb, as in "Did you TiVo that last night?" But for all the mindshare the platform has gained, relatively few households actually have a TiVo or similar device.
		It allows owners to play photos, music, and satellite radio on their TiVo from their Networked PC (for an additional one-time cost.) Plus, the recently announced updates to the Home Media Option will all programs to be transfered to a laptop for viewing away from home as well as for DVD backup.
		TiVo is truely a great product and the series 2 has the better memory amount.

		That is, you will need to put your TiVo hard drive into a PC and run a program to install the required software.
		The assembled TiVo 802.11b Adapter cards are completely tested to insure they are in working condition when they are shipped.
		The use of the TiVo 802.11b Adapter Board is experimental and may not work with all TiVo's and may not work in the future.

		Apparently TiVo thinks it's just a drop in the bucket, as the company is now selling a "premium remote" that bears resemblance to Logitech's Harmony 670, which supposedly lets you take "maximum control" of your oh-so-pricey PVR.
		Like a lot of other modifications, the process of getting the TiVo to accept the array of hard drives was a long and complicated one: if you want to emulate this effort, you better be comfortable dealing with a nekkid TiVo, a RAID 5 setup, and several user-unfriendly Linux and Mac disk utility applications.
