TiVo Home Media Rollout

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the step-in-the-right-direction dept.

ncstockguy writes "TiVo rolls out its new Home Media option next week. Subscribers with a Series2 DVR box can get some impressive new functions to their TiVos. They'll be able to screen digital photos on their TVs, listen to music stored on their computer hard drives on their home entertainment units, schedule to tape a show "remotely" through the Internet, and watch a recorded show in different rooms on different TVs. Some of the functions will require two or more computers connected either by WiFi or ethernet."

    I can do almost everything this pay service from TiVo provides with my ReplayTV 5040. I can't play MP3s with the ReplayTV, but I'm in a freggin dorm room, so I don't have much of a home entertainment center. I can, though, stream programs to other ReplayTVs (or to DVArchive on my computer), store photos and view them, and program it via the Internet.

    Quite frankly I can barely find enough worthwhile content on TV to justify paying for my Dish Network subscription ... most of what I watch can be found on Nasa Select and The Weather Channel. But it's going to be a cold day in Hell when I dish out even more money to pay to record it onto a hard drive.

    What a total fucking waste of money.

    I don't need Tivo, I have a life.
