TiVo Upgrade Shifts TV Shows to Computers
From Reuters
TiVo Inc., maker of digital video recorders, said it started shipping TiVoToGo, a service upgrade that allows some subscribers to view recorded programs on a computer or laptop.
Alviso, Calif.-based TiVo said the upgrade was free and would be available to customers who own the Series 2 version of its set-top box. TiVo first announced the service a year ago.
TiVo said the service was designed to respect copyrights. It said its desktop software for TiVoToGo supports only Microsoft Corp.’s Windows XP and 2000 operating systems.
Shares of TiVo rose 25 cents to $6.12 on Nasdaq.
