it's an obvious combination, but at least they finally had the sense to pull it off

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.

Netflix And TiVo? Perfect Together

Netflix And TiVo? Perfect Together 01/27/2004 01:44 PM
A long, but interesting, look at Netflix's business. The article points out, accurately, that Netflix is going to be a strong competitor for any online "video on demand" outfit - as they basically are a video on demand outfit that just takes a bit longer to deliver - but comes with much more freedom for the end user. However, the company clearly realizes that their biggest threat doesn't appear to be the recent copycat attempts by folks like Wal-Mart and Blockbuster, but the future of video on demand. Unlike most companies that miss the boat on disruptive technologies, Netflix is already trying to figure out how they'll compete in that space as the technology gets better. They haven't given up much in the way of details, but are working on tests of video on demand systems they can offer as an option - allowing for a gradual transition when (if!) people want their movies delivered over the internet. At the end, the article makes one interesting prediction: Netflix and TiVo should team up to offer some sort of combined solution. The article doesn't specifically discuss what that solution should be, but it could make a lot of sense. Offering up an easy way to "download" the video of your choice to your TiVo could be fairly compelling.

Hey, guys. I'm sort of taking the day off from news - finishing up some freelance and doing a lot of behind-the-scenes catch up for Gizmodo - but this was just too interesting not to talk about. Newsweek is reporting that TiVo and NetFlix are planning on releasing a system that would allow subscribers of both services to download movies and television programs directly to their TiVos over broadband. There's no confirmation from the companies yet, but this could be huge. If they could figure out a way to let us take TiVoToGo onto mobile media devices, we could finally have an all-you-can-eat, legal video download option.

Netflix and TiVo teaming up to bring
rental videos on demand 09/07/2004 04:57 AM

The majority of us that have cable or a dish have the capability to do pay for view. I have always been very disappointed with pay for view offerings, thus we rent video's on a regular basis. The wife also gets them from the library which is the best deal in town. But now Tivo and Netflix are proposing a deal where you can rent a video from Netflix and have it downloaded directly into your TiVo via your broadband connection.

This is a very smart move. I am sure the MPAA will be bitching along with the broadband providers who are going to forced to adsorb the extra bandwidth that this would create. [MSNBC]

TiVo Lives: Comcast Partnership
Officially Announced

TiVo Lives: Comcast Partnership
Officially Announced 03/17/2005 03:52 AM

Well just leave it to everyone's favorite DVR company to wait until the 11th hour to find a way to resurrect themselves. TiVo and Comcast today announced a strategic partnership wherein TiVo will develop new software to be integrated into Comcast's existing DVR platform. TiVo's vice chairman toyed a bit with grand understatements:

It is very important that TiVo has found a way to work with the nation's largest cable operator on a cooperative basis to develop a state-of-the-art TiVo Service, fully integrated with a cable set-top box, that will make TiVo available to millions of cable viewers.

As a TiVo subscriber and one of those loyal fans you hear so much about (or from, rather), I didn't want to believe the reports about TiVo's forthcoming demise. Rather, I grabbed onto whatever thread of sunshine I could, praying TiVo wouldn't fall asunder. Just like an old-time Nintendo fan, (which I also am) my blind loyalty has paid off, at least for now, and TiVo will live to see another day. Besides, I actually enjoy using TivoToGo.

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!"
