TiVo brings Internet Video to your Television

Saturday, November 18, 2006

TiVo has plans to enable TiVo subscribers to easily convert and transfer broadband video from their PC to their televisions. Through an expansion of its Desktop PC software due later this year, TiVo subscribers will be able to view videos from the internet (such as Youtube.com, Meta Cafe, or Google Videos) on their TVs, even if they are not in a format that televisions can display natively. This will be in addition to the broadband programming currently being delivered via TiVoCast direct delivery feature.

"Broadband video is growing rapidly on the Web, but the television will continue to be the key way viewers want to watch video,"

said Tom Rogers, President and CEO of TiVo.

TiVo subscribers will be able to choose from a variety of free downloadable content such as music videos, video podcasts and user generated content.
