TiVo Net AdminAnnounced at the TiVo Community forum was a neat piece of Windows software called TiVo.net that allows you to use your TiVo as a media extender so you can play a variety of video formats from your PC.

A list of video formats and codecs that TiVo.net supports can be found here. The software works by converting the video on the fly to MPEG2 TiVo compatable video that can then whizz across your home network to your TV screen, via your TiVo.

TiVo.net is an open source project so others can get involved. It's early days for the software and if you experience any bugs it would be worth pointing them out to the developer.

TiVoA Mac version of TiVoToGo was finally announced a few days ago but unfortunately it did not come cheap. Mac users would have to fork out for the full Roxio's Toast Titanium 8 package which costs $100.

The Roxio Toast Titanium package offers full DVD/CD burning capabilities plus a little bit more but many MAC users will probably have software that does this already making $100 extremely expensive for just TiVoToGo considering regular Pc users can get it for $25.

Fortunately Roxio has said at this weeks CES that there is a possibility of a standalone Roxio TiVoToGo for Mac which would of course be sold for a lot cheaper.

TiVoCastTiVo has announced it will be adding two more web TV channels/Vodcasts to its TiVoCast lineup available on Series 2 TiVo's (and hopefully the Series 3 soon too).

The two new channels that have been added are LX.tv and Golfspan, both of which use the Brightcove internet video system to deliver video on the internet. TiVo teamed up with Brightcove to offer web TV in May last year.

Brightcove actually has hundreds of TV channels using the Brightcove system so I wonder what makes LX.tv and Golfspan so special that they are included on TiVoCast. It would be interesting to know what gets a Brightcove Web TV channel onto TiVo.

Remember the good old days when you'd buy a product for an advertised price, and be able to find the advertised price directly on the shelf or at the product's website? These days it seems like you need a Ph.D. to figure out how to get the best price/deal out of a product like TiVo.

So here's the latest.

If you buy a Series3 TiVo by the end of January and activate it by March 2nd, you can transfer lifetime service from your existing TiVo for $199. This is an extension of a previous offer.

But, if you've got a DirecTV TiVo unit, you're out of luck.

Of course, TiVo's still charging $799 for a Series3 unit, so this is only a bargain if you'd willing to spend $1000 for a hi-def unit rather than waiting a while for the prices to fall. We've seen resellers discount the Series3 by as much as $200+ but that's still a lot of cash.

Or if you're in the market for a new box and hi-def isn't that important to you, check out the latest rebates on Series2 boxes, which basically let you pick up an 80-hour Series2 TiVo for free (plus a year's service).

Series2 TiVoWeaKnees points out that TiVo's offering up a new round of rebates for Series2 units, replacing the rebates that expired on December 31st.

Just like last time around, you can get $220 off the price of a standard 80-hour Series2 box, bringing the total price to... free.

You can also get $180 off of a dual-tuner Series2, which brings the price to $69. You have to activate your TiVo and sign up for at least a year of service.

The offer is good for Series2 units purchased between January 1st and February 17th, 2007. After that, TiVo may very well offer another round of rebates. No word yet on any upcoming rebates for Series3 units. But at this rate, it's safe to say you'll be able to pick up a free Series3 with a year's service sometime around 2017 when the Series4 3-dimensional holographic recorder is released.

Guru Guides

TiVo has updated its Guru Guides, so that now you can subscribe to guides directly through your TiVo. Up until now if you wanted access to preselected lists of shows you might enjoy you had to sign up through your computer, or ask your significant other.

While it's nice to be able to schedule TV shows to record from work, the more services you can actually access from your TiVo itself the better. Sure, it takes a couple of extra steps to sign up for guides with a remote control, but not having to get up and walk into the other room is worth its weight in gold.

Dave Zatz warns that you may have a hard time getting past the privacy screen if you're signing up for your first Guru Guide. A quick trip to the office where you can sign into your TiVo.com account, try to add a Guru Guide, and accept the privacy agreement should resolve the issue.

The update only works on Series2 TiVo's at the moment, but Series3 support should be coming any day now.

Top 11 Most Worthless Annoying TiVo Moments 2006

In honor of TiVo releasing the Top 10 TV moments in 2006, and not actually releasing something that will gain them some favor with current customers, potential new customers, and shareholders such as a non-fan created TiVoToGo for Macs, a robust movie delivery system, TiVoToGo on Series3 boxes, or a TiVo that dispenses Samuel Adams - I've decided to make my own list that highlights the top 11 most worthless or annoying TiVo moments at PVR Wire in 2006.

In no specific order:

1. TiVo releases Series3 box at a colon constricting $800 price point. In a clever move, The Milk of Magnesia company signs a deal with TiVo to offer a free bottle to everyone who purchased a Series3 at full price.

2. TiVo striking deals with partners that offer "Free TiVo Boxes" that aren't really much different from the free box you can already get when signing up for the service normally.

3. TiVo throws you a house party! Sadly, Kid or Play nowhere to be found.

4. TiVo thinks up innovative ways to advertise to its money paying subscribers. I have to admit, the ads are pretty benign. Doesn't make them any less aggravating.

5. TiVo lets Microsoft beat them to the living room with downloadable movies/shows. How long have we been talking about a Netflix/TiVo partnership?

6. In '05 TiVo announced that software would be available on Comcast set-top-boxes with a similar deal announced in '06 for Cox. Deals are pretty much universally appreciated by fans, but TiVo fails to mention rollout would not occur until after the biblical rapture. Shouldn't this be out by now? Particularly the Comcast arrangement? Can't wait to try this out during my stay in Hell.

7. TiVoCast updated! Still less fun than replacing your friends dandruff shampoo with the contents of a bottle of Nair, although most things are. Is anyone using this?

8. Cablevision brings TiVo to Mexico. Como se dice "who cares"? Okay, this was actually good to hear, but I wanted to break out some busted Spanish.

9. TiVo unveils "It's Not TiVo Unless it's TiVo" marketing campaign. In related news, The Captain Obvious Marketing Company signs its first client ever.

10. TiVo offers free pizza for anyone who signs up for a years service and gets a new TiVo box. Let's see. A PVR, a pizza, a remote, and a couch. You wonder why the country has an obesity problem?

11. TiVoTooSlow.

TiVoCast

TiVoCast has been updated so that you can manage subscriptions directly through your TiVo. The setting is under TiVo Central/Find Programs/TiVoCast.

TiVoCast operations director E. Stephan Mack says you can currently sign up for CNET, Danger Rangers, dLife, Heavy, iVillage, The New York Times, Rocketboom or Union, with more programs coming soon. I expect that means we'll be seeing content from CBS, Reuters, and Forbes soon.

You can view, modify, add, and remove programs using the TiVo interface, and you can choose to download individual episodes.

Apps TV subscription managerSome time ago TiVo opened up third party developments for its PVR software allowing developers to add custom functions to TiVo.

Unfortunately the HME front has quieted down a lot recently with developments few and far between. Apps.tv is one of the few directories of HME applications which you can run on your TiVo DVR.

Apps.tv has not released anything new for some months, but the website has just added an Amazon product browser to the works.

I haven't personally tried it out and I'm unsure as to whether you can actually buy products on Amazon or not using the application.

Instructions on how to activate the apps.tv plugin can be found here. If any of you use the plugin please let us know some more information.

I've just posted a DirecTV advert so I thought I'd even things out a little and post a TiVo advert too. Below you can see a TV commercial from Radio Shack advertising the Series 2 TiVo.

The advert is promoting the free TiVo, failing to mention that a paid yearly subscription is also required, other than in the small print.

Radio Shack has been selling TiVo PVRs since August.

TiVo WPA

Can't wait for TiVo to roll out version 8.1 of its software, with support for WPA security for wireless network-connected TiVo's?

Now you can sign up for TiVo's priority list. Either you'll be one of the first to get the update or you'll get it at the same time as everyone else, but at least feel like you're doing something about it.

The update is for Series2 Tivos only. It won't work with DirecTivos, Series1, or Series3 recorders. If your TiVo Serive number starts with these numbers, you're eigible for the update: 110, 130, 140, 230, 240, 264, 275, 540, 565, 590, 595, and 649.

It looks like WPA's not the only update. There's also support for adding recording time to scheduled recordings. So if you're planning to record a sporting event, for example, and the program guide says it ends at 10:00, but you know they always run late, you can add an extra half hour of recording time.

DVD RippingDoing the complete opposite to my last post, here is a tutorial by Josha Garnett that explains how to convert DVDs to watch on your PVR, specifically a TiVo PVR.

This makes use of TiVo Desktop by converting your DVD videos into MPEG videos that can be stored on your computer and subsequently watched on your network enabled TiVo.

This potentially allows you to have an extra movie library available to watch on demand that was previously on DVD.

The tutorial is about a year old but we have not covered it on PVR wire before.

This tutorial is unique from other similar tutorials because it allows you to convert 16:9 content into letterboxed 4:3 content without any audio sync problems.

Garnett's tutorial is based on Dave Zatz' DVD to MPEG to TiVo tutorial which uses a slightly different method.

TiVo CashIf you're confused by TiVo's new pricing strategy, you're not the only one. Luckily TiVoPony's gone and offered up a list of frequently asked questions (and answers) at the TiVo Community Forum. Since TiVoPony happens to work for the company he's named for (TiVo not Pony), I'd place some weight on his answers. But that doesn't necessarily help if you were hoping to continue paying $12.95 a month for service on a year to year basis.

In general terms, he points out that you can still get service for $12.95 a month -- you just have to sign up for three years. At the same time, you can get an 80-hour Series2 box for free. Basically, TiVo's decided to drop the up-front costs you have to pay for TiVo and make up the money on subscription fees. Considering their giving away equipment for free it makes sense, and seems fair enough.

But locking people into a three year commitment on a box that is rapidly becoming outdated technologically? Maybe if there was a guarantee that you could transfer your 3-year plan if you decide to upgrade to a Series3 box. But I haven't heard of any such commitment yet.

TiVoPony also answers questions about what happens when your current 1-year plan expires (You get the current rate until the end, then you have to sign up at the new rate) and what happens if you want to sign up for service on a second TiVo using the multi-room discount (If you currently have a box that you're paying $6.95 for that will remain the rate forever, but if you add a third or fourth box you will have to pay the new rate of $6.95 for 3 years, $8.95 for 2 years, or $13.95 for 1 year).

TiVo pizza promoOkay, now this is just getting silly.

First TiVo goes and slashes the after-rebate prices on its 80-hour Series2 TiVos. Then the company goes and futzes with its service rates (most consumers seem to consider this a rate hike, although there are some deals where you would actually pay less under the new plan).

And now TiVo's going and offering free pizza to anyone who gets a new box and signs up for a year's service. Other than the fact that there's overlap between the target audiences for TV and umm... pizza, what's the connection? Well, apparently "Papa John's uses only superior-quality ingredients to make its award-winning pizza. TiVo's award-winning service is chock full of innovative features." Great.

Anyway if you're in the market for a Series2 box and you could use a $20 gift card for Papa John's click on the read link for more details.

beating on TiVo Okay class, get out your pens and pencils. I've got a math problem for you.

TiVo has gone and raised the prices for its service plans. If you're already locked into a plan, you get to keep paying at your current rate until the plan expires. But if you sign up for new service, here's the deal:

If you pay on a monthly basis, you pay:
  • $12.95 per month for a three year plan with a $150 early termination fee
  • $14.95 per month for a two year plan, with the same termination fee
  • $19.95 for a one year plan, termination fee applies
Or, you can prepay for service:
  • For a limited time, you can get three years of service for $299. When the offer ends, the price will rise to $349
  • $299 for two years of service
  • $199 for one year of service
If you've already got a TiVo, but want to add a second box, you qualify for a multi-room discount:
  • $6.95 per month for a three year service plan
  • $8.95 a month for a two year service plan
  • $13.95 a month for a one year service plan
Of course, who wants to commit to spending three years with a Series2 box when a) HDTV is going to become more common in the next few years and b) Series2 boxes are going to fall in price. And to make matters more complicated, you can now get an 80-hour TiVo for free, or an 80-hour dual-tuner TiVo for $69.

So, prepaid service plans seem to be cheaper than they were, monthly service plans seem to have gone up, and the boxes are getting cheaper. Now class, does that make TiVo's change in pricing plans a good deal for consumers or not? Feel free to sound off, vent, or celebrate in the comments section.

TiVo Series2TiVo's gone and upgraded its rebate program for Series2 boxes. You can now get $220 off the price of a standard 80-hour TiVo and $180 off the price of a dual-tuner Series2.

That brings the price of the dual-tuner box to $69, and the standard 80-hour TiVo is now free as long as you sign up for a 1-year or longer service plan.

The deal is good from today through December 31st. If you already have a Series2 unit, that means you can pick up a second box for as little as $83.40 ($6.95 a month for 12 months).

TiVo Series3 remoteSay you want that snazzy new TiVo backlit TiVo remote that comes with the Series3, but you don't want to give up TiVoToGo? Up until now, I would have said you were stuck shining a flashlight on your Series2 remote. But if you've got $50 burning a hole in your pocket, you can now pick up a Series3 remote from the TiVo store.

That's $20 more than you'd pay for a standard Series2 remote, but you get backlighting, metal domed keys, updated ergonomics, a larger navigation pad, and the channel and volume buttons are now conveniently located further away from the buttons for playing, fast forwarding, and rewinding, making them harder to hit.

The remote should work well with either a Series2 or Series3 unit.
