Tivo - Changing the Way We Watch TV

By Greg Van


TiVo is a consumer video device which allows end users to capture their favourite television programs to an internal hard drive. Since its introduction in 1999, TiVo has attracted an ever-growing number of clients. Although TiVo is, in reality very similar to video recorders, the technologies it employs are complicated and classy, allowing more freedom of choice and better selections to be made by the user. The device not only records the programs that the user mentions but also presents other related material that is of potential interest.

All the information is stored on a non-removable drive, which offers plenty of space. You can record up to 140 hours on your TiVo, choosing the exact programs you are enthusiastic about. The box then does its job recording everything you wanted while you are "out living life", as TiVo makers state. Extra features include the fact that you can pause a live show being recorded and replay it. The user also has the choice of "time shifting" a program "viewing it without waiting for the recording to finish. Another helpful feature is the slow motion mode, which enables you to watch that fave sports scene again and again in serious detail.

You also have the choice of scanning a show by title, actor, category or keyword, bringing the TiVo experience nearer to the area of the Web. And speaking of the Net, you can set up the recordings on line also. The device was quickly accepted by viewers in USA and Great Britain, where this service is available. Today the Corporation has around 5 million customers in America for its Tivo service.

The TiVo box is simple to line up and works alongside antenna, cable, digital cable, satellite or any other combinations. You also must turn on the TiVo service, which can enable you use of the box and grants you access to all of the device's features. TiVo's creators were TiVo Inc, a company started by Time Warner's Full Service Network and Silicon Graphics. To find out more about TiVo go to their website at www.TiVo.com.

There isn't any doubt Tivo has expanded the arrey of selection of entertainment in the American living room. It's been a great addition, especially for the busy way of American life as it has given them an additional way to organize their living.
