TiVo to support HDTV by "Year-End"

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.

HDTV and Tivo owners

[realmolo]

HDTV- I wish I was dumb enough to buy an expensive TV that will probably be obsolete in a few years, so I can get slightly better image quality when watching (a few of) the universally crappy shows on both cable and network television. Tivo- I also wish I was dumb enough to buy a device that lets me record gobs of those same shitty shows, so that I don't miss any of the shittyness. Oh, and apparently it also gives you the right to claim that you "get more out of tv" and that your life has changed for the better because of it. So, keeping up with your favorite shitty shows was stressing you out? Gosh, that's horrible. You people make me sick. Read a fucking book. Get some taste. Quit trying to pretend that TV is worth bothering with, because it isn't, no matter how you watch it.

Hillary Clinton told us Canadians are terrorists. That means your money is drug money. Drugs are bad for kids. Kids are short. Dogs are short. Dogs can't see color. TV is in color. Therefore, Canadians don't need TIVOs.
