TiVo Continues to Make Big Moves… Adds Support For Blockbuster On Demand

Gear Diary TiVo Continues to Make Big Moves... Adds Support For Blockbuster On Demand photo

It wasn’t that long ago that I expected TiVo to go the way of the Dodo.

It increasingly looked like its time had come and gone as cable companies added DVR functionality to their set top boxes and more and more of us started using our computers to watch and record tv content. Then TiVo started adding services such as Netflix streaming and in the process it got a new leash on life.

Now TiVo is adding yet another service to its growing list of new functionality. In addition to Amazon, Netflix, Walt Disney Studios, and Jaman support for Blockbuster On Demand will be live some time today. The service will be available on Series 2, 3, HD, and HD XL boxes and movie rental fees will range from $2.99 for “classic” or old films to $3.99 for new releases.

Between that and the ever-cool TiVo “blublup” sound TiVo is AWESOME!!

About Dan Cohen

Having a father who was heavily involved in early laser and fiber-optical research, Dan grew up surrounded by technology and gadgets. Dan’s father brought home one of the very first video games when he was young and Dan remembers seeing a “pre-release” touchtone phone. (When he asked his father what the “#” and “*” buttons were his dad said, “Some day, far in the future, we’ll have some use for them.”) Technology seemed to be in Dan’s blood but at some point he took a different path and ended up in the clergy. His passion for technology and gadgets never left him.

    Whoo! I am always excited when Tivo adds new features. I have to remember whenever I start to drool over high def tvs that I need to budget for a new tivo to go with it!
