TiVo to Let Users Record Shows Via Cellphone

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday March 7, 2006 @11:36AM from the instant-gratification-generation dept.

Carl Bialik writes "Verizon Wireless plans to offer a new service called TiVo Mobile that will allow its customers who also have TiVos in their homes to schedule TV shows for recording when they are on the go, the Wall Street Journal reports. ' A customer might use the service to impulsively schedule a sitcom for recording after the show is recommended by a friend at a party,' says the WSJ, adding, 'Verizon Wireless executives said the service, to begin this summer, is expected to cost less than $5 a month, in addition to normal cellphone-service charges and TiVo subscriber fees, which are $12.95 a month.'"

Am I open minded towards open source, or closed minded towards closed source?

Tsk, tsk! Read before you reply! He wasn't talking about cell phones at all; he was talking about CEL phones. Completely different thing.
