Tivo On Board With YouTube's New API

impuLsive writes "YouTube has announced they're rolling out a brand new API. The API will allow you to integrate YouTube into a website, allowing for features like: uploading videos, adding and editing video metadata, fetching localized feeds, custom queries, and a customized player UI with controlled video playback. Alongside YouTube, TiVo announced that they will be supporting the site's content via the Series3 and TiVo HD DVRs starting later this year."

Re:Tivo's Series3 is a ripoff

The remaining question is, do you have the skills to do this fast enough, and do you work cheap enough, for it to take less than $400 of your time?

It's a bullshit question.

Unless you're forced to do it all during your work hours, OR you work every waking hour of every day, you will have some "free time" (in every sense of the word).

What's more, it's amazing how people focus on initial time, and ignore the rest... How much money does it cost you due to the user interface (on every electronic device you own) isn't exactly perfect, and therefore wastes untold amounts of your time, in a few seconds increments?

Considering that I built my DVR 5+ years ago, I think I've much, much more than broke even... Count subscription fees, the ability to retain the same box across different TV service providers with minimal time invested, and all the other benefits it offeres, I'm going to say anyone who doesn't put together a DVR is wasting several thousands of dollars worth of their time...
