Preliminary Results of Survey of Musicians
http://ww w.pewinternet.org/reports/toc.asp?Report=123

This weekend, the Pew Internet & American Life Project will present at a conference some early findings of an online survey they did of more than 2,700 musicians to gather their views on copyright and file-sharing issues. Among other things, these musicians are very divided about the problems and marketing potential of online file-sharing systems and they are not sure the recording industry campaign against illegal downloading will help them. Many of these artists themselves share some of their songs for free online and find that it helps them sell more CDs, draw bigger concert audiences, and get more playing time on commercial radio.

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!)

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.

RSS and TiVo

RSS and TiVo 04/09/2004 03:56 PM
Yesterday's item provoked a flurry of responses. Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, who wrote the Washington Post story I dissected, points out that the nature of his assignment precluded broader coverage, and that he'd otherwise gladly have included bloglines. There's been lots of chatter about bloglines lately -- Chad Dickerson mentions it today -- so I was interested to hear from Martin Thornell about another web-based product, Rocket RSS reader. Doubtless there are others too. An implementation of one of these licensed for behind-the-firewall use, as Chad suggests, would be handy. As a matter of fact, that's how I use Radio UserLand's reader. It's nominally a desktop product, but I run it as a server and authenticate to it over SSL. ...

Netflix + TiVo: Done

Netflix + TiVo: Done 09/07/2004 03:08 AM
Back in January, we had discussed that coming convergence of TV and movies in the video-on-demand space and discussed the somewhat obvious connection of TiVo + Netflix. It appears that the management of both of those companies has figured it out as well, as Newsweek has the "high level sources" rumor mill spinning about TiVo and Netflix teaming up to offer a combined movies-on-demand service. While the details aren't there, this does make a lot of sense for both companies, who each need to differentiate themselves from the growing competition within their space. Both have built up great brand names, and extraordinarily loyal followings, but are now facing strong competition from more established players with huge wallets. A combined solution that let users download movies directly to their TiVo (and, even better, take them "on the go" with TiVoToGo) has tremendous potential and would keep them a step ahead of the competition for now. Still, it remains to be seen exactly how they implement this solution. If it's not done well, it could be damaging to the reputation of both companies, while taking attention away from their existing solutions. It's also unclear if there will be exclusivity in this relationship, or if both players will be able to team up with others as well.

TiVo Pop-Up Ads Are Huge

TiVo Pop-Up Ads Are Huge 03/30/2005 02:03 PM

I had thought, perhaps, that the TiVo users were getting a bit worked up over the TiVo pop-up ads that are in testing, because last I heard they only take up a quarter of the screen. Matt Haughey took this picture of it in action, though, and now I get the ire. That's really annoying, even if it is only when fast-forwarding. How are you supposed to see what you're forwarding through? Even if you can hit 'clear' to make it go away, it's still needlessly messy. Matt has a mock-up of what he'd like to see on PVRBlog and it's much more reasonable.

Maybe that's TiVo's tack—make the first versions so over-the-top that by the time the intro the real deal, everyone will have forgotten how frustrating it is to get pop-up ads on a subscription service in the first place.

The tyranny of TiVo

The tyranny of TiVo 11/12/2003 01:06 PM
Well, not the tyranny of TiVo specifically, but rather how the rise of the digital video recorder, in perfectly dialectical fashion, has resulted in people feeling both more and less in control of their television watching. On one hand DVRs let you take control of what you TV shows watch and when you watch them, but on the other it also creates a massive backlog of television shows that some people begin to feel buried underneath and that they have a frantic, desperate need to catch up on. Read [Thanks, Eric]...

The Downsides To TiVo?

The Downsides To TiVo? 11/11/2003 06:47 PM
Almost everyone you talk to who owns a TiVo (or similar device) talks about how it revolutionized how they watch TV. They talk about how they watch what they want, when they want - and say it makes television watchable again. However, some are also realizing there's a downside to such things. Being able to store stuff up, means that you can create a backlog. Some, who haven't figured out how to manage their TiVo experience find themselves feeling chained to their TV to "catch up" on all the shows they missed. In the past, if you missed a TV show, you asked friends for a summary of what happened, or you just get on with your life and figure you'll catch up the following week. Now, though, as people realize the power of TiVo, they never miss a show. On top of that, because of the simplicity of the whole thing, they end up regularly watching a lot more TV shows than they watched in the past, so the inevitable backlog appears. Some even report feeling stressed out in having to keep up with their TiVo. It's not at all surprising that some folks feel this way. It's the sort of adjustment period that happens with plenty of new technologies. Over time, though, people learn to manage such things - though, I'm sure we'll hear about psychologists who specialize in treating "TiVo addicts" before too long.

Beyond TiVo: The Next Generation (Of
Ads) 05/26/2004 01:35 PM
Just as TiVo gets users to (sort of) see more commercials, the next generation of PVRs is planning a new form of advertising and deliver more targeted marketing (and maybe even more ads). Forget about all this skipping 30 seconds stuff, no one will be able to avoid the video-on-demand menus covered in targeted ads. But before the anti-ad folks have a fit, this might actually mean the ads you see are the ads you don't mind seeing.

I missed the original call from Endgadget to TiVo recommending that they get their software onto PC's but a follow on thread has me shaking my head up and down saying yes this is a damn good idea. After all I have a bunch of computers at home with a significant amount of storage why should I have to buy a separate box for just such recording activities. I know there are other solutions out there but I really like TiVo's interface and this would be the perfect application to add to my self made media center.

The Tivo Effect

The Tivo Effect 03/22/2005 04:32 PM

How big is something when it gets an "effect"? And what about when no one can decide what that "effect" is?

I'd been hearing about "The Tivo Effect" for a while, and I figured it'd make a good post, so I went looking for a definition. I found this article, this one, this one, this one, and dozens of others, all claiming something different about "The Tivo Effect."

As near as I can tell, it could mean:

• the tendency for advertisers to increase product placement within TV shows (since actual ads can now be skipped)
• the echo created by two TVs in the house watching the same show while one of them is "time-shifted" because of Tivo's ability to pause live TV.
• the inability to go back to life before Tivo
• the increased spare time you have now that you can reduce your TV watching into concentrated blocks of time
• the decreased spare time you have now that you record and watch shows you might never have recorded before

So I still have no idea what The Tivo Effect is, but what's important is that Tivo has affected television viewing to the point where it has a "named effect." And evidently so many of these effects that no one can agree what the most important one is. Do you have a definition for "The Tivo Effect?"

Someday there will be a "Gadgetopia Effect." When that day comes, someone please tell me what it is.
