One of the more interesting announcements to come out of CES today was a new Comcast/TiVo device:
Working in concert with Comcast, TiVo has developed a software application that will enable Comcast to deploy the service for a modest monthly fee to existing set- top boxes without an additional in-home visit by a technician.
...
Comcast customers who choose the TiVo service will enjoy TiVo’s Emmy Award-winning user interface and premium DVR features, smart search and discovery features including WishList® searches and TiVo Suggestions, plus improved scheduling and recording management through such features as Season Pass™ recordings.
I know several people who have a Rogers PVR, and as much as they like the idea of a PVR, the experience is just awful. Someone from TiVo needs to talk to someone at Rogers to put a deal like this together. If they did, Bell ExpressVu wouldn’t stand a chance1.
1 I’d also be happy if Bell and TiVo struck a deal. The point being a deal like Comcast’s would give one company a huge advantage over the other.
