It seems like just yesterday when TiVo was a verb. But times change, and more brand-neutral DVR seem to be on the rise. As you can see in this clip of a new 30 Rock episode aired in the States, Liz Lemon expresses her longing for days gone by. Personally? I still catch myself remembering to “tape” episode. What is that, even? More »

11:16PM September 7, 2011 | Adrian Covert

7:00AM August 14, 2011 | Brian Barrett

TiVo Adding Slingbox Functionality Into Their Next DVR?

Companies put out surveys to gauge customer interest in potential new features all the time, so TiVo asking if people would be interested in streaming live and recorded shows from their DVR to an iPad shouldn’t be seen as an indication that it’s going to definitely happen.
