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!)

Does anyone have an MP3 of the song "Tivo, My Tivo" from the off-Broadway [hit | miss] The Gayest Straight Man Alive? Because I'd really like to hear it. Also, could someone explain what "surprisingly straight" means? Is that, like, no dicks at all? Not even your own? (Thanks, Peter, for the "tip.")

Update: While I'm exploiting the good humor of our readers, do any of you 1) live in Canberra, Australia, and 2) take PayPal? I need to get a few cases of VB delivered to some game developers and am having a surprisingly hard time of it.

Telus Mobility to Use Tatara System

Telus Mobility to Use Tatara System 12/10/2003 03:06 PM
This press release doesn't explain what exactly is going on here: But I spoke with folks at Tatara a couple months ago and the product sounds pretty good. On the face of it, Tatara looks like another provider of a single-sign on solution for hotspot operators. But it's the backend that's really cool. Tatara is really designed for a big operator like a T-Mobile that has other networks. The platform ties into the operator's backend systems like billing and customer service. It also detects presence. Here's an example of why all that is good. Let's say a customer is online in a hotspot of a roaming partner of her hotspot operator. If she's having technical problems she can call customer care for her operator which will have access not only to which hotspot she's connected to but also specific information about her connection. Because the system detects the data rate a user gets, the operator can also decide to offer a varied billing structure where customers pay depending on the data rate they're getting. Also, an operator that may also have a cell phone network, for example, can integrate services across the networks. So a cell phone user will be able to get presence information about a friend logged onto a hotspot and send an instant message to the friend....

Big Threats To TiVo: Freevo Is Not Its
Name-o 06/08/2004 02:05 PM
Everyone seems to want to take a shot at TiVo these days. Despite the loyalty of TiVo subscribers, there's no shortage of articles wondering if TiVo can survive. However, among the threats TiVo has to deal with, this review of the various "free" (or cheap) versions of PVR software is probably not what TiVo should be worrying about. Do-it-yourself "TiVo-like" software has been around about as long as TiVo itself. And there are all sorts of devices that could be built for fun or to just avoid licensing fees, but that 0.001% of the population who would, probably doesn't keep TiVo executives up at night.

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.

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.
