Video Of The Day: TiVo’s Ongoing Battle With Ad Agencies

NEW YORK (YouTube.com/AdAge) — Things have never been smooth between TiVo and advertising agencies since that company rose to fame by popularizing ad-zapping DVRs. But now TiVo has changed into a home entertainment utility with video content from more than a hundred sources and an ad sales department. But, as VP for Ad Sales and Content Services Tara Maitra explained at the recent Advertising 2.0 conference, the company still gets no respect in ad agency land.

TiVo In Talks With Time Warner Cable?

TiVo_TWCAccording to Bloomberg, TiVo has been talking with Time Warner Cable about bringing their DVR service to Time Warner’s network.  Not a lot of details have been revealed however, this news makes a lot of sense considering the fact that TiVo recently won their long standing patent battle with EchoStar.  As the Bloomberg article points out, TiVo will more than likely use this decision to bolster their position in the living room.  Stay tuned for more info.  I think this is really going to get interesting!

TiVo is in talks to provide service through Time Warner Cable Inc., the second-largest U.S. cable-TV provider, Landel Hobbs, the New York-based pay-TV service’s chief operating officer, said on a June 11 conference call. TiVo already has deals with Comcast Corp. and DirecTV, the largest U.S. pay-TV companies.

TiVo declined to comment on its discussions with pay-TV companies, said Mike Boccio, an outside spokesman. Time Warner Cable, which has 13.1 million video customers, wouldn’t elaborate on Hobbs’s comments.

………..

TiVo “can go around to everyone and say, ‘You have to come to terms with us, we have already taken on Dish and our patents withstood,’” said Shaw, who has represented Intel Corp. and Samsung Electronics Co. “If there was an easy way around the patent, Dish would have already adopted one.

weaKnees Is Now Shipping TiVo HD XLs With 2TB Internal Drive

TiVo_HD_XLweaKnees has been shipping 2 Terabyte TiVo DVRs for quite a while now however, earlier today they announced that they’re now shipping TiVo HD XLs with one internal 2TB drive.

OK – we’ve been selling some 2 TB TiVos for a while, but not like this one. This one has ALL of the storage inside the unit, and it’s all on one 2 TB drive.

I may be stating the obvious however, this device allows you to record a ton of content.  According to weaKnees’ screenshots, a 2TB drive provides 2777 hours worth of SD content or 318 hours of HD content!  Unfortunately, all of this recording space will cost you a lot of money.  At the time of this writing weaKnees is charging $999.99.

The size is about the same capacity-wise as our 2 TB units that come with one internal terabyte drive and one external terabyte drive. And, sorry to say, due to the cost of these 2 TB drives, it costs a bit more. But you can’t beat the advantages.
