I’ve long been wondering when the most popular Internet media applications would develop a better platform with television. While Hulu, Youtube, and ITunes have made groundbreaking advances, there’s still a major problem. I really have no interest in watching a Hulu video on my small computer with inferior audio and visual capabilities. If only there was an easy way to hook this up to my television. However, I also don’t want to disable my computer during this process. Inevitably, there would be a way to pull these online media applications directly from the cable source. It appears the first major step is made here…
TiVo Premiere: Blockbuster, Netflix, Amazon on Your TV
TiVo, the box that pretty much changed the way we watched TV, was getting a little old. But that’s OK: The new TiVo Premiere looks like it might do the same thing all over again.
The new, hi-def Series 4 box, the smallest TiVo so far, not only shifts live programming like any other DVR, it also sucks in movies and TV from across the internet, letting you access Blockbuster, Netflix and Amazon content, YouTube and (this is huge) video podcasts. You can also stream music from Rhapsody and listen to radio on Live 365.
In short, the Premiere is the one set-top box you’ll need to access almost any content out there, all with the TiVo features you already know and love. Better still, the Swivel Search feature has been extended to search the internet, so in a few clicks you can track down movies featuring, say, a favorite actor and be streaming them to your TV
Exciting developments! TiVo revolutionized television with their widespread entry into digital video recording technology. Since cable providers were able to use their economies of scope to offer these services in bundled packages at much lower rates. Expect similar developments as TiVo continues to pioneer new technologies.
