What Can the New TiVo Premier Series Do?
I posted a few weeks ago on the new TiVO premier series DVR. For those of you wondering what this new generation of TiVO will do, here's you answer. It won't wash your dishes or project an image, but just about everything else is fair game. To wit:
• Stream music: play music files on your TV or home entertainment center from the home computer across the network or via the internet
• View personal photos and slideshows on TV from a networked computer
• Watch free music videos and other web videos (not just YouTube) and even subscribe to regular updates via RSS feeds from various sources
It will also download HD movies and TV from many sources including Vudu, Blockbuster, and Netflix. It supports cable and Verizon FIOS, but not satellite or AT&T U-verse. It also fully supports 1080p video.
The fact that it records live TY, and allows you to pause, rewind and replay live TV goes without saying for a TiVO.
At only $299 for the smaller box, that could qualify as the bargain of the century.
