To clarify, this is not a release of a product like JavaHMO (which is awesome). It is an SDK that makes it easier to build things like JavaHMO, and more.

This is an early access developer release, and Tivo is also sponsoring a contest for developers, you can win a bunch of cool stuff.

The OPen Source SDK includes sample code, documentation, and full source code for the SDK itself.

Too bad the release is about 2 years late. I bought a Series 1 tivo practically the week they came out -- lifetime subscription and everything. It cost me about $1000 all told after HD upgrades, TivoNet, etc. I have been a fan of TiVo ever since the day I plugged it in and it's been really painful to watch them blunder so badly this past couple of years. They cannot even manage to compete in the market they created. Maybe now that they have caneed their CEO they can do some damage control and figure out how to turn a prophet because they've lost my business otherwise. My next DVR is coming to me from my cable company -- where I can subscribe to HD programming AND lease a HD box for less than the TiVo monthly service charge. The alternative TiVo solution -- to buy a $999 (retail anyway) unit that only works with DirecTV (who is dumping TiVo as soon as their contract expires)? No thanks!]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/31/tivos-offers-web-services-software-development-kit/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/31/tivos-offers-web-services-software-development-kit/
