GearLive.com has posted a wonderful interview (12:38) that took place between GearLive and TiVoPony at CES. I can hardly wait! This video has me even more excited! Based on the demo, it looks as though TiVo has done a great job integrating multiple tuners into one device. Check it out…
I would have reported on this earlier however, the owners of GearLive were having a tough time getting the video encoded as of 12:30 AM this morning….
In your opinion, what’s a good price point for the new Series3 TiVo that was on display at CES? How much are you willing to pay for a TiVo that has dual-tuners and HD support? I know that I would be willing to pay a lot however, I’m not your average TiVo consumer. A couple of people on TiVoCommunity have suggested that the new DVR will go for something like $500-$800! Is that too much for a DVR when you can get a crappy DVR from your cable company for ~$5.00? Will the average consumer be willing to pay that much? I know I just listed a bunch of open-ended questions however; I’m anxious to find out what other people think about buying a Series3 TiVo and how much they would be willing to pay. Let me know….
Dave Zatz has reviewed the TiVo’s new wireless adapter on his site. According to Dave, the new adapter is ~60% faster than your average adapter! Along with the review, Dave is also giving the adapter away for free! Head on over to his site and leave two comments on the site.
Since I already have a decent setup, I don’t think I am going to upgrade to this adapter. If however, I decide to go with a wireless setup I would definitely consider purchasing this adapter.
Great job Dave!
Galleon now has their own blog. Check it out for some discussion on TiVo and HME app development. Galleon’s rss feed can be found here.
Thanks Dave!
MegaZone has the scoop on TiVoToGo for the Mac. This has been a sore spot for a lot of Mac users. This time it looks like TiVoToGo is for real! MegaZone’s post includes a lot of pictures showing TiVoToGo running on a Mac. Check it out…
Update: MegaZone was kind enough to let me mirror these pictures as well….
For anybody who cares, I’ve put together the following diagram which depicts how my TiVo is setup. This setup allows me to watch my TiVo from any room in the house. A
My current setup using the following devices/hardware:
: This is the TiVo that I received from the referral program. Initally I had a 60 hr. TiVo however, I’ve since given that one to my mother. (wireless router): I use this router for my laptop. All other devices have a wired connection.: I use this adapter in for my TiVo. I use to use the Linksys WUSB11 however, when I was getting ready for TiVoToGo I decided to go with a wired connection.This post is meant to be a place holder for pictures that were taken by MegaZone of TiVoLovers.com. MegaZone was kind enough to allow me to redistribute them on this site. For more information on the Series 3 TiVo head on over to TiVoLovers.com.

Update: MegaZone was kind enough to allow me to redistribute the TiVo pictures he took at CES here.
MegaZone is doing a great job covering TiVo news at CES (picture to the left was taken by MegaZone). According to MegaZone, TiVo is doing more at CES then just showing off existing hardware/software (see previous post).
As a matter of fact, it looks as though he is posting pictures of the new Series 3 TiVo as I type this! Check out his post for information on the Series 3 HDTV TiVo, A new AJAXish TiVo Central Online and new features in the HME Api. Damn I wish I could be at CES :(. Make sure you check out the comments, there is some great discussion there.
Update: Dave Zatz has posted a picture of the Series 3 remote (also taken by MegaZone). Here’s another nice picture of the front of the DVR.
According to PVRWire:
The Engadget guys headed over to catch the TiVo presentation at CES today, but it was cancelled in favor of a brief talk and show/tell around their various product stations, although there doesn’t seem to be anything suspicious in the move.
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?
As I mentioned in a previous post, TiVo has devoted a section of their site to CES news and announcements. Right now, there isn’t much on the site however; I would expect that they (TiVo) will update the page when news is announced. Stay tuned to this site as well as several others for up to the minute TiVo CES news…..
