TiVo, Comcast Replace Stale Ignored Ads
With Fresh Ignored Ads 04/05/2005 05:40 PM
In the cat-and-mouse game of getting DVR owners to watch ads, you have to hand it TiVo and friends on one score: they're not afraid to try new things. You may recall from a couple years ago the sweeps takes gimmick tied to Lexus ads, and more recently they've been testing a program that will put pop-u p ads in your fast-forwarded ads. The latest twist is a joint development by TiVo and Comcast that will update your DVR's recordings with newer, more targeted ads. What's interesting here is not necessarily the impact on viewers -- negligible, at best, despite the inevitable protests of privacy advocates -- but rather TV's possible transformation to more Internet-like advertising concepts such as relevancy. More power to them, if they can pull it off.

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.

The deal allows for both companies to leverage TiVo's "advanced advertising capabilities" on DirecTV TiVo units.

TiVo Offering To Buy Off Journalists...
Or Just Mispromoting A Small Deal?

TiVo Offering To Buy Off Journalists...
Or Just Mispromoting A Small Deal? 03/22/2005 05:03 PM
Apparently, TiVo sent out an email to a number of journalists recently discussing their "TiVo Media Accommodation Program," that would let people buy an 80 hour TiVo DVR with a $200 rebate. It didn't take long, of course, for some to wonder if TiVo was trying to buy off the press. Others however, point out that the deal isn't really limited to the press and it wasn't that good of a deal in the first place -- since other rebates are out there, and the real cost of a TiVo is in the service. Still, the naming of the program and the fact that it was emailed out to journalists does seem a bit questionable. Even if it was open to anyone, the fact that they're specifically targeting special deals towards the press does raise some questions. Unfortunately, this sort of stuff does happen all the time -- but just doesn't get that much discussion.

Comcast Celebrates By Turning Off DNS 04/08/2005 12:13 PM
It looks like Adelphia cable broadband customers who are about to get shifted over to Comcast have plenty of outages to look forward to. The same evening that it's announced that Time Warner and Comcast will jointly devour what's left of Adelphia for about $18 billion, Comcast had major DNS issues leaving many of their users offline. Of course, in explaining the widespread outage, Comcast is using their favorite phrase: "scheduled maintenance." That's the same thing they told me when Comcast turned off my service nearly every weekday last October. I would call every morning and be told that it was "scheduled maintenance." However, when I asked what the schedule was and if I'd have service the next day, I was told they had no idea. Apparently, it doesn't become scheduled until it actually cut you off.

Comcast Outages Prevent Comcast From
Commenting On Comcast Outages 04/14/2005 01:21 PM
Last week, we noted that Comcast was having widespread outage problems, which they chalk ed up to "scheduled maintenance", even though no one was actually informed of said schedule ahead of time. It turns out that schedule is pretty crowded, because all week long, there have been continued reports of recurring outages all across the Comcast network. Comcast, of course, continues to be pretty much silent on the issue, leaving its increasingly fed up call center staff to deal with incredibly angry customers who feel they're getting no information at all. How hard is it to admit that they screwed up and they're working on fixing the problem? Instead of chalking it up to bogus scheduled maintenance or pretending there's nothing wrong, admit what the problem is and give people real updates. People would still be unhappy, but at least they'd feel like the company wasn't ignoring them. Of course, maybe they can't do that because Comcast staffers don't have any internet access either...

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!"
