TiVo Reconfirms Plans For An HDTV TiVo
TiVoPony (TiVo Director Of Product Marketing) confirmed the fact that TiVo is going to offer a dual tuner HD box sometime next year!
Taken directly from TiVoCommunity:
There’s a dual tuner HD box coming next year that will work with both cable and ATSC.
Or, if you have Comcast cable, there’s a version of TiVo coming that will work on the 6412 dual tuner HD cable platform.
Both are dual tuner HD, and both are planned to be out next year. Dan’s right - CES is typically where you’d hear more info/details.
Cheers,
Pony

I hope that they are not going to charge a HUGE price for this. It will be on my have to have list!

[...] Looks like TiVo is really starting to hit their stride in adding value over the typical cable-co DVR. Once they bundle these features with the upcoming dual HD tuner CableCARD model, they’ll really have something worth drooling over. [...]

[...] With this, the Tivo on PSP and iPod thing, and the upcoming dual HD tuner CableCARD model, 2006 just might be Tivo’s year. // Used for showing and hiding user information in the comment form function ShowUtils() { document.getElementById(”authorinfo”).style.display = “”; document.getElementById(”showinfo”).style.display = “none”; document.getElementById(”hideinfo”).style.display = “”; } function HideUtils() { document.getElementById(”authorinfo”).style.display = “none”; document.getElementById(”showinfo”).style.display = “”; document.getElementById(”hideinfo”).style.display = “none”; } [...]

[...] So I was just talking the other day about how TiVo really should put out an HD CableCARD box. And today I found this blog post on TivoBlog that says they’re doing just that! For those who don’t really know what the big deal is, there is currently only one TiVo on the market that lets you record in High Definition, and that’s one that’s a DirecTV tuner. So if you’re not a DirecTV subscriber, you are out of luck. Instead, I’ve been forced to put up with Comcast’s DVR. Which works alright, it’s seen much improvement from its first iteration, but the interface isn’t nearly as streamlined as TiVo’s, and it has this terrible “feature” where if the cable box is shut off and a scheduled recording comes on, the box turns on but mutes itself. And I haven’t found anyway to unmute it short of turning of the box. So if you come home to it mid-recording, you have to wait until it is done to watch anything. So silly. [...]

[...] This sounds pretty lame . I was hoping for some really good CES news from TiVo. How about more news about the dual-tuner HDTV TiVo? [...]
