Tivo revolutionised the way we watch TV by producing one of the first Digital Hard Disk Video Recorders (No Tapes!).
Despite other manufacturers trying to copy some of Tivo's features, Tivo’s solid linux platform and core database gives it an major advantage over
the competing satellite and cable DVR’s.
Why is this?
Competing devices like Sky+ have a limited ability to significantly enhance the UI (user interface) due to their legacy firmware architecture
and the need for backwards compatibility.
What is TiVo?
Tivo doesn't just record TV programs, Tivo has a suite of features listed below. Click on the feature list below or use the sub-menu on the left to get a detailed explanation of each feature.
Remember, many of the DVR’s available on the market today only offer the basics like Pause, Fast FWD & Rewind. Few offer extended features like
Season Pass, Wishlists etc. and none come close to Tivo’s flexibility, which is easily enhanced by future updates!
