The gist of it all is pretty much what we already knew -- TiVo rocks, but is rocky, financially. Whitmore predicts it will be snapped up by some big fish in the near future, which would not be entirely unexpected.

And if you're really a die-hard TiVoite, Whitmore has published a 50-page digest of some of the better survey results on his website, MediaSurvey. If you want to get the scoop on what the fans think, good and bad, that's a juicy bit of data.

TiVo Users Watch More Commercials

TiVo Users Watch More Commercials 05/26/2004 12:20 PM
Our LA-based sister-site Defamer has a great write-up about a recent study that shows people that use a TiVo (or other DVR) may actually be watching more commercials than those that watch regular TV. The boil down is this: people...

There have been studies in the past that showed that TiVo (or similar DVR users) often can recall the commercials they've fast forwarded through. Now, Dave Pell from Davenetics points us to a new study that actually suggests DVR users see more commercials - even though they're just fast forwarding through them. Basically, the people most likely to have and use a DVR device are the same people who were likely to simply channel surf when commercial came on in the past - meaning they saw very few commercials. Now, however, while they may be fast forwarding through the commercials, they are still at least "seeing" them - and possibly getting some brand recognition. In fact, the survey suggests the net impact of advertising on DVR users may be positive. Of course, it might help if broadcasters and advertisers continued to look at more creative advertising solutions. As Dave suggests, "The first advertiser to shoot commercials in slow motion wins."

Nielsen Sees Gold In TiVo Users

Nielsen Sees Gold In TiVo Users 03/08/2004 11:04 PM
It looks like TiVo is finally catching on. While Nielsen had planned to start including data on people using TiVo-like devices in 2006, they're now pushing that deadline up a year, as they've noticed that the TV-watching public is increasingly signing up for such services (thanks, in part, to various cable and satellite providers offering them with basic service). For the extra paranoid, Nielsen says they won't track things like whether or not people fast forward through commercials, but only whether or not the show was watched at a different time than it was originally broadcast. Still, it probably won't be long before they're tracking commercial skippers as well. So the question is, once the data on commercial skippers becomes public, what will happen? Will broadcasters demand changes in the technology (or the law!), or will they admit that it's time that they, themselves, changed how they present advertising (or, even, how they fund their operations)?

TiVo Wins Nod for Users to Share Digital

TiVo Inc., maker of popular digital television recording devices, on Wednesday received approval for technology that would permit users to send copies of digital broadcast shows over the Internet to a limited number of friends.

The Federal Communications Commission voted to certify digital protections on TiVoToGo, which is not yet available but would enable a user to record and send a digital broadcast television show to up to nine others who have been registered on that person's service and has been given a key to see it. The approval came despite concerns by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and the National Football League about the risks of unfettered distribution of copyrighted shows and airing regional games outside of their market.

"Each of these technologies has been exhaustively reviewed to ensure contention protection systems prevent the mass indiscriminate redistribution of digital television programming," said FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein. The FCC last year adopted rules to limit distribution of digital, over-the-air television programs over the Internet in an effort to prevent mass illegal copying and sharing, a problem plaguing the music industry.

Friends finale and NBC Tivo-b0rking --
TiVo Strikes Back

Friends finale and NBC Tivo-b0rking --
TiVo Strikes Back 05/07/2004 10:49 AM
Following up on yesterday's post about NBC's apparent attempts to b0rk potential TiVoers of the Friends finale, BoingBoing reader Douglas Clark says,

I am a loyal Tivo user and Tivo did send out a message alert to users about the Friends episode. It was more along the lines of "if you manually extend the time of a recording, you may miss the beginning of the friends final episode." I find that Tivo is pretty good about catching unusual start times and other wonky tricks the networks play. The previous comment about HUT and ratings was right on the money...

Link to previous BoingBoing post.

Tech maven Meg Hourihan adds, "Even weirder is that I got a message on my Tivo warning me that the finale of Friends would have abnormal times. The message warned that if I wasn't just using the automatic "start on time" and "end on time" settings (i.e. I manually set the start time as 8 PM) that I might miss some. What makes things weirder and worse is that Tivo still didn't record the whole show! I made sure my settings were what the message instructed, and happened to watch the show live. Tivo kicked in to record at 8:59 PM (which is what it listed the start time as) but stopped at 9:59! According to the time on my digital cable box, the program didn't end until 10:03 PM. So if I hadn't watched it live, I would have missed the last four minutes. Seems like a major screw-up on Tivo's part, especially after sending out that message!"

Intel and Tivo Team Up on Tivo-to-Go
(But How?)

Intel and Tivo Team Up on Tivo-to-Go
(But How?) 06/06/2005 12:09 AM

Reuters is running a story about Intel that is chocked full of goo info, including information that their 'Manitoba' mobile chipset has finally found a customer in mmO2 Pic (the Manitoba came out two years ago, to little fanfare, let alone actual adoption by phone manufacturers). But the big news is that Intel will be working with Tivo to provide Tivo-to-Go functionality in future laptop chipsets, like their popular Centrino.

What that is, though, is unclear. Is it just a branding initiative? Tivo-to-Go already works on laptops (that's half the point), so will it be some sort of native support that makes it easier to move the Tivo content around? We don't know—the article is very vague—but at least Tivo is getting some name dropping love from a mega-vendor (considering it was unlikely they were going to get much help from Microsoft, considering they sell a competing product to Windows XP Media Center). (Thanks, Pat!)

Also, could someone explain what "surprisingly straight" means? Is that, like, no dicks at all? Not even your own? (Thanks, Peter, for the "tip.")

How TiVo May Help The Web

How TiVo May Help The Web 04/26/2004 04:07 PM
Web advertising is making a big comeback just as TV advertising may be losing steam. These two things may not be a coincidence, as a new study suggests that advertisers are looking to move their advertising dollars to the web, as they fear the impact of TiVo-like devices on their television commercial spots. Of course, if advertisers (as they're likely to do) insist on creating more annoying and intrusive ads online this plan will backfire. However, they should look on this as an opportunity. Smart advertising (not intrusive, not annoying) that actually gives people something they want will be a lot more cost effective than blind TV advertising where you hope people are paying attention.
