Program Tivo over AOL

Posted by timothy on from the assimilation dept.

mynametaken writes: "Saw this article about AOL and Tivo partnering to offer services. The gist: Terms of the pact call for San Jose, Calif.-based TiVo to integrate AOL features like instant messaging (IM) and live chat into its new TiVo Series2 DVRs, which were introduced earlier this year. Also, both companies are working to provide AOL members who are also TiVo subscribers with the ability to schedule recordings on their TiVo from the AOL service. I know that being able to program a PVR remotely is a big request. It looks like we'll have to have AOL to do it, though."

    OK. The first idiotic post mistaking the opinion of one man with the policy of an entire company was made 12 minutes before your post. I look forward to your redundant mod. Maybe you should read the other posts and hit refresh before stating your poorly formed statements.

    You'll accept stories like "MS admits Linux isn't Piracy" (no F%^$^% shit) or a certain self promotional artical about Katz and his Dog book but not and article showing how gaming sales are outstripping music (even though both have plenty of piracy). For those intrested, goto This is London for the complete story. For everybody else, my off-topic apologies, but I've had it. Mod me down. WAY DOWN. I want a -10 for this. Obviously news on this site, like karma, doesn't mean shit.

    Hello I am new to slashdot. I have a question: why does this site look like it was designed in 1994?

    This is a Tivo post that didn't get selected by the hands of the linux facist, Rob Malda?? Impressive :) +1 point for /. ;)

    Just kidding Rob. It's just that, I don't think you did a geeks in space episode where you didn't talk about Tivo :)
