TiVo And DMG To Launch Broadband Radio In Early 2009

Gizmodo AU

Following hot on the heels of their “Movie Of The Week” service, TiVo announced yesterday they’ll be launching broadband radio in conjunction with radio network DMG (aka Nova and Vega). The service looks set for a March launch, with customers to receive the service upgrade free of charge.

Radio and TiVo doesn’t seem the most natural of partnerships, since one relies on a screen and the other, well… doesn’t. But according to DMG’s Cathy O’Connor the fit is a good one, with plans to use the screen first as a menu and ultimately for branding related images.

When asked if there were plans to incorporate more radio stations into their growing empire, TiVo were typically tight lipped. However, they did indicate they were considering generic radio options overseas, with views to possibly launch kids’ radio within the service.

Rare Inner Beauty: The Asus Nova Lite 2L Mini PC Hides Stereo Under Its Grill

Mini ITX machines around the size of a Mac mini aren’t rare. But machines like this with stereo speakers built in that look like little precise German lunchboxes of computing power, well, that’s not something you find every day. Precise? Yes, take a look at the front mesh and side grills. The single fan design makes this little guy run at 24Db, and in its top config has a Intel 945GC+ICH7 chipset, 160GB of HDD, Wi-Fi b/g, Gigabit ethernet, 4 USB 2.0 ports, DVD multidrive, DVI and HDMI(!). For scale, the Nova Lite is about 9 inches across. galleryPost('asusnovalite', 8, '');
