We can only hope so. Ty over at CNet is reporting that Hybrid TV (the guys behind TiVo in Australia) CEO Robbee Minicola said that she hoped to get TiVo on a Blu-ray player (but not a recorder).Apparently she’s been having chats with manufacturers about this very thing, but nothing is planned to happen just yet.
The move would be a good one – while it wouldn’t be the perfect box under the TV (without the ability to archive to disc), having TiVo’s functionality in a unit that also plays Blu-ray would be a very appealing option for both DVR and Blu-ray customers. Hopefully, we’ll hear more on this in the near future.
