TiVo to support HDTV by "Year-End"

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i'll-believe-it-when-i-see-it dept.

JMorgan in Seattle writes "TiVo has (finally!) announced support for HDTV. It's a ways off (end of the year), but at least we know that HD TiVo is on the horizon. In two separate press releases, we learn that TiVo will support both standalone and DirecTV hi-def PVRs. TiVo is really on a roll--first Rendezvous support, and now this. Now if only DirecTV would add more HDTV channels..." I've been waiting to get an HDTV receiver for this. Joy.

    You can still pause/rewind/fast forward live TV

    Wow, it can fast forward live TV? Does it create some sort of wormhole to grab TV signals out of the future?

    I might get one just so I'll know the outcome of football games before they're over. I might be able to finally pay off my student loan.
