As long as those patents are active or usable against others, TiVo will refuse to give a fair license, Cisco says -- leaving competitors with little choice but to either agree to a costly settlement or risk a ban.  Before championing Cisco as the underdog, remember that it's likely counting on a large patent library as a Sword of Damocles over TiVo's head that could fall if TiVo decides on a countersuit.  Regardless of the strategic maneuvering, there's no doubt that Cisco is hoping to avoid a lawsuit on the scale of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/02/dish-network-will-pay-tivo-500-million-to-settle-dvr-lawsuit/">epic-length EchoStar case</a>.</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/01/cisco-sues-tivo-to-nullify-four-dvr-patents/">Cisco sues TiVo to nullify four DVR patents, claims TiVo's just a big meanie</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 01 Jun 2012 13:29:00 EST.

That, friends, is what <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/kickstarter/">Kickstarter</a> is for. <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/10/simple-tv-dvr-placeshifter-frees-free-tv-from-the-constraints/">Simple.TV</a> is ready to bring its mobile TV / DVR device to market, but it needs the help of some enthusiastic supporters with a little pocket money to spare. The company's been working to make the device a reality and is "close enough that we need to start ordering parts and getting the production pipeline turned on," which, naturally, in where people like you come in. To help achieve its $125k goal, Simple.TV is offering up a unit for a $125 pledge (down from its "already super low price of $149"). Higher pledges will get you fun things like a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/roku+xd/">Roku XD</a>.

This is despite a rise in revenue and subscribers (driven mostly by Virgin Media, which added 242,000), and the company expects another loss in the second quarter due to rising litigation costs in its ongoing <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/26/tivo-sues-twc-motorola-mobility/">cases against Motorola and Time Warner Cable</a>. We've already heard about TiVo's new <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/21/tivo-stream-ip-stb-cable-show-2012/">Stream placeshifting box, IP multiroom extender</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/24/tivo-shows-off-pace-built-xg1-six-tuner-gateway-dvr-it-plans-to/">six-tuner XG1 gateway</a>, but the new product news is a plan to launch TV Everywhere streaming. The first cable operator joining in the new venture will be RCN, and TiVo says its portal will allow providers using its DVRs to deliver streaming video in or out of the home, with video on-demand and remote DVR scheduling on PCs, tablets and mobile devices. That's expected to launch later this year, but for all the details, numbers and quotes you can check the press releases after the break.</p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/30/tivo-shows-a-q1-net-loss-of-20-8-million-will-launch-tv-everyw/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>TiVo shows a Q1 net loss of $20.8 million, will launch TV Everywhere web portal soon</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/30/tivo-shows-a-q1-net-loss-of-20-8-million-will-launch-tv-everyw/">TiVo shows a Q1 net loss of $20.8 million, will launch TV Everywhere web portal soon</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 30 May 2012 20:04:00 EST.

The news <strike>was announced in a tweet</strike> from Head of Corporate Communications Steve Wymer, and as <i>Gizmo Lovers</i> notes, was likely held back as Comcast announced its own X1 platform would launch soon in Boston as well.

The result is this XG1 gateway, a six-tuner DVR that's intended to be sold by TV providers and then hidden away in a closet, quietly distributing video to smart TVs or extenders located throughout the house. It runs TiVo's software with support for multi-room video, MoCA, mobile and tablet remote apps and at least 500GB of hard drive space inside. Since it hasn't announced any plans to bring this unit to retail we'll have to wait and see which providers decide to offer it when it becomes available in the Americas "later this year".</p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/24/tivo-shows-off-pace-built-xg1-six-tuner-gateway-dvr-it-plans-to/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>TiVo shows off Pace-built XG1 six-tuner gateway DVR it plans to ship later this year</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/24/tivo-shows-off-pace-built-xg1-six-tuner-gateway-dvr-it-plans-to/">TiVo shows off Pace-built XG1 six-tuner gateway DVR it plans to ship later this year</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 24 May 2012 03:52:00 EST.

As seen above, it attempts to provide a single cross-platform home screen that combines info from its services and third party sources to give customers a quick look at what's important to them, on any screen. Potential sources include Comcast services (DVR schedule from your cable box, voicemails from the home phone, email, or <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/09/xfinity-home-security-makes-home-monitoring-and-management-comca/">home security / automation updates</a> when you're away) as well as third party information like your current calendar software, social media and local news. While ambitious, it does reflect a futuristic ability to bring its users relevant information (based on the time of day, it could pull the traffic report before you leave for work or TV listings in the evening, for example) automatically. How well it all works remains to be seen once this is integrated with the new DVR software and apps later this year, but you can get an idea of what Comcast has up its sleeve for your four screens from the pictures in the gallery below.</p><p> <strong>Update</strong>: Check out a video of CEO Neil Smit demonstrating Project Dayview on the show floor embedded after the break. <div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-project-dayview-ui/">Comcast Project Dayview UI</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-project-dayview-ui/#5037075"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/project-dayview-agendagall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-project-dayview-ui/#5037076"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/project-dayview-home-screengall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-project-dayview-ui/#5037077"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/project-dayview-securitygall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-project-dayview-ui/#5037078"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/project-dayview-trafficgall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-project-dayview-ui/#5037079"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/project-dayview-weathergall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div></p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/21/comcast-project-dayview-agenda-pda-four-screen/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Comcast's 'Project Dayview' does PDA duty across TV, phone, PC and tablet (update: video)</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/21/comcast-project-dayview-agenda-pda-four-screen/">Comcast's 'Project Dayview' does PDA duty across TV, phone, PC and tablet (update: video)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 21 May 2012 14:19:00 EST.

The announcement was made at the Cable Show in Boston, and that's where it will be available first, some time in "the coming weeks" with a few other major markets following soon after. We've had a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/16/comcast-cable-show-2011-demo-features-1gbps-cable-modem/">few peeks at the new UI over the last year or so</a> but now we have a full gallery of shots of both the DVR software and accompanying X1 remote app that will be available first on the iPhone. The new guide looks very similar to the existing <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/11/comcast-xfinity-tv-app-updated-for-honeycomb-android-tablets-gi/">Xfinity TV remote apps</a> for phones and tablets, formatted for HD screens and with support for recommendations from your social network and support for apps like weather, TV, traffic, Facebook and Pandora to start. The <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/20/comcasts-next-generation-xfinity-spectrum-dvr-shows-off-quad-tu/">new set-top boxes</a> it runs on have built-in tru2way and internet support, as well as RF remotes instead of IR.</p><p> Meanwhile, the X1 remote control app adds motion and gesture control to the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/10/comcast-xfinity-tv-ios-app-adds-integrated-dvr-manager-so-you-do/">current set of features</a>, as well as more direct interaction with what's on screen, since it can be used to swipe through pages, type into menus and pause currently video with a shake. As far as pricing, Comcast says it will be available to new Triple Play customers with HD/DVR service at no additional cost -- no word yet on what that means for everyone else. Check the gallery below for a look at the new software, and check the press release after the break for more info.</p><p> <strong>Update</strong>: Check out a video of CEO Neil Smit demonstrating the new UI on the show floor after the break.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-x1-dvr-and-iphone-remote-app/">Comcast X1 DVR and iPhone remote app</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-x1-dvr-and-iphone-remote-app/#5036816"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/x1-apptrafficgall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-x1-dvr-and-iphone-remote-app/#5036818"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/x1-main-menudvrgall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-x1-dvr-and-iphone-remote-app/#5036819"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/x1-mainmenuguidegall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-x1-dvr-and-iphone-remote-app/#5036820"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/x1-app-pandora-1gall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-x1-dvr-and-iphone-remote-app/#5036821"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/x1-app-sports-1gall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div></p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/21/comcast-x1-dvr-iphone-app-launch/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Comcast officially launches next-gen X1 DVR platform and iPhone remote app (update: video)</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/21/comcast-x1-dvr-iphone-app-launch/">Comcast officially launches next-gen X1 DVR platform and iPhone remote app (update: video)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 21 May 2012 10:37:00 EST.

According to TiVo's press release, both boxes will be available at retail and via the various cable operators that are offering its DVRs to their customers, while availability will be announced "in the coming months". The Stream transcoder reformats live and recorded video from a Premiere DVR for viewing on mobile devices or tablets (including sideloading for offline viewing away from the home), and TiVo says it's the first to stream or download shows simultaneously to multiple devices like iPads or iPhones without interrupting what's being watched. The IP box on the other hand is all about multiroom, designed to pull in either live or recorded video from a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/09/tivo-premiere-q-and-preview-multiroom-dvr-setup-finally-debuts-f/">Premiere Q</a> plus cable VOD and internet content, similar to the existing <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/13/tivo-premiere-q-and-preview-boxes-are-official-along-with-an-upd/">Preview</a> but without the CableCARD tuner.

The updated software lets you add show and season posters, banners, background art, theme music and individual episode thumbnails to your recorded shows to make each one really, really good-looking. It'll happily handle PNG and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/flac/">FLAC</a> files for those lossless enthusiasts and it'll even overlook a messy file structure to get everything looking great.

Like most seven-day periods, this one comes to a close with the latest issue of our e-magazine for your gadget reading pleasure. Front and center this time around, our own Darren Murph pays a visit to the South Carolina HQ of accessory maker <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/TwelveSouth/">Twelve South</a> to chat about making a big splash while staying small. On the review side of things, we take a gander at the TiVo Premiere XL4 and the HTC EVO 4G LTE to see how they stack up and we go hands-on with the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon and Sounder's iOS app. Reaction Time makes an appearance too -- taking a long look at Max Payne 3 while listing this week's must-have game releases. The usual suspects fall in line as well, as you might expect. <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/switchedon">Switched On</a> discusses RIM and Nokia, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/engadgetIRL/">IRL</a> sneaks a look in at our gear collections, former <em>Doctor Who</em> script editor Christopher H. Bidmead pauses for the Q&amp;A and Dustin Harbin has the Last Word on what killed dinosaurs. Go ahead.

The highest model in the TiVo line, the XL4 costs $399 plus $15 a month, or $499 for lifetime service. For the money, it records four HD shows at once with a single CableCARD and offers 2TB of storage. More tuners and space aren't the only things that have changed since we gave the original <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/24/tivo-premiere-review/">TiVo Premiere a once-over</a> just two years ago. No, there have been a few <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/05/tivo-premiere-update-brings-hd-guide-multi-room-streaming-more/">notable releases</a> as well as the release of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/24/tivo-slide-remote-review/">TiVo Slide Remote</a> and a number of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/18/tivo-premiere-app-for-ipad-review/">TiVo companion apps</a> for phones and tablets.

Netflix is the most intriguing of the additions, but while TiVo Premiere owners can now watch Netflix 1080p programming with <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/DolbyDigitalPlus/">Dolby Digital Plus</a> discrete surround sound, like Hulu Plus, it isn't a TiVo experience. The new Google-built YouTube app is also like any other streamer and with the exception of search, there isn't much integration at all. Parental control options can finally be set when using the HD UI, but still isn't as full featured as it was with the old UI and is a far cry from KidZone. What the update doesn't do yet however, is complete the HD interface transformation that some Premiere owners have been waiting two years for. Still, we suspect that caveat won't stop owners from rolling the dice on an update check for their TiVo every day over the next few weeks.</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/10/tivo-spring-update-brings-new-netflix-and-youtube-experience/">TiVo Spring update brings new Netflix and YouTube experience</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 10 May 2012 12:01:00 EST.

The satellite provider only managed to add 81,000 subscribers in the US of A during the quarter, which is more than a 50 percent decrease compared to last year's Q1 (184,000). Meanwhile, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/directv">DirecTV</a> <em>did see</em> a 12 percent increase in revenue, pushing the total to about $7.05 billion. That last bit thanks in large part to landing over 590,000 new customers in Latin America, though that didn't keep its current share price from dropping about 2.7 percent to $46.60.

Keeping true to its moniker, the 610R measures in at a slim 14mm thin, while weighing in at just under two pounds. Physical features aside, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/EchoStar/">EchoStar's</a> managed to stuff a 500GB hard drive inside the DVR's scrawny body, as well as a couple of USB 2.0 incisions and single Ethernet and HDMI ports. On the software end, the device is equipped with a Freeview+ HD feature that offers subscription-free access to over 50 "high quality" and four high-def channels -- though, <em>you will </em>have to pay a one-time fee for the service. The HDT-610R will be available for pre-order starting May 4th, with Amazon, John Lewis and Maplin being the first online vendors to have it for up for grabs. No word on pricing yet, but in the meantime all you Euro folks can gander at the PR below to soak up the rest of the deets.</p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/02/echostar-hdt-610r-ultra-slim-box/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>EchoStar outs its HDT-610R Ultra Slim Box, says it's 'world's slimmest' DVR</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/02/echostar-hdt-610r-ultra-slim-box/">EchoStar outs its HDT-610R Ultra Slim Box, says it's 'world's slimmest' DVR</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 02 May 2012 19:01:00 EST.

As shown above, the mobile companion app that we had only seen so far <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/02/cetons-q-dvr-companion-app-for-windows-phone-gets-detailed-tour/">on Windows Phone 7</a> is also up and running on Android and iOS. While the apps are still very early in their development they're already running smoothly with metadata provided by Rovi and the usual set of features for DVR scheduling and management. Each one is designed specifically for the platform it's running on, rather than pulling the same UI from one device to all. This seems like a good approach to us, but Ceton's looking for feedback from potential users about what they might prefer. Speaking of potential users -- all those interested in this hardware should keep an eye out as we're told that the plan is to have a beta for the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/16/cetons-echo-extender-for-media-center-will-be-the-first-to-supp/">DTS-compatible</a> Echo extender "soon", likely within a few weeks.</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/17/ceton-mobile-apps-android-iphone-echo-beta/">Ceton previews DVR companion apps on Android and iOS, teases Echo beta 'soon'</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 17 Apr 2012 18:12:00 EST.

Still, if it gets a steady diet of software updates like today's it could turn into quite an impressive device. The budget TV streamer now has the ability to act like a DVR if you attach a storage device to one of its empty USB ports. Of course, you can't just pull up the recorded programs on your set top box as you would with standard DVR, but it does allow you to stream them to your various devices without the need to be watching live.

Despite all that, until today's update doing something as doublechecking what was scheduled for recording on your DVR required popping out of the app and signing into a different webpage. The new integrated DVR Manager can be seen above and confirms, yes, that <i>Deadliest Catch</i> is securely in our queue for this evening. We're not sure what's going to happen in the season eight premiere, but we suspect someone is going to worried about whether or not they're catching enough crabs on this trip.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/10/comcast-xfinity-tv-ios-app-adds-integrated-dvr-manager-so-you-do/">Comcast Xfinity TV iOS app adds integrated DVR manager so you don't miss Deadliest Catch</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 10 Apr 2012 20:04:00 EST.

The blog and product page feature several screenshots flashing the Xfinity VOD icon and showing off the TiVo Premiere UI's universal search pulling from Comcast's library alongside other sources like Netflix, Amazon and Hulu Plus. Until now, switching to third party DVRs exclusively meant largely foregoing access to Comcast's VOD, but with this customers who dig the TiVo experience can switch without making compromises. Naturally, to make use of this customers will need to be Comcast TV subscribers, although we hear the video will be delivered via QAM just like on cable company owned boxes instead of IP, which might provide higher video quality than the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/27/xbox-360-apps-now-live-for-comcast-xfinity-tv-hbo-go-and-mlb-tv/">Xbox 360's recently launched app</a>. The <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/04/tivo-premiere-updates-coming-with-new-netflix-and-youtube-apps/">update</a> will be made available to customers in the San Francisco Bay Area to start, delivered "today and over the next few weeks" -- no word yet when we'll see this roll out elsewhere.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/10/tivo-comcast-vod-launch-bay-area/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>TiVo Premiere DVRs in the Bay Area get Comcast VOD starting today</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/10/tivo-comcast-vod-launch-bay-area/">TiVo Premiere DVRs in the Bay Area get Comcast VOD starting today</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 10 Apr 2012 00:31:00 EST.

According to tweets by Vice President of user experience Margret Schmidt we may see all that and more soon, as she mentioned "expecting" the Spring Update with new video streaming apps and parental controls in HD menus to roll out to Premiere and Elite DVRs this month. As far as Comcast Xfinity On Demand, the rollout is targeted to begin in the San Francisco Bay Area, with an update for DVRs there this week before the feature is turned on later this month. This shaping up to be a very interesting year for the smiley faced DVR company with <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/23/tivo-q4-transcoder-ip-set-top-box/">new hardware</a> still waiting in the wings, add in all these new software capabilities and TiVo looks like a winner in more than just the legal battles.<br /><br />[Thanks, Joe, Sebs]<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/tivos-latest-netflix-and-youtube-interfaces/">TiVo's latest Netflix and YouTube interfaces</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/tivos-latest-netflix-and-youtube-interfaces/#4741346"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/tivonetflix01lg_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/tivos-latest-netflix-and-youtube-interfaces/#4741347"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/tivonetflix02lg_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/tivos-latest-netflix-and-youtube-interfaces/#4741348"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/tivonetflix03lg_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/tivos-latest-netflix-and-youtube-interfaces/#4741349"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/tivonetflix04lg_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/tivos-latest-netflix-and-youtube-interfaces/#4741350"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/tivonetflix05lg_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/04/tivo-premiere-updates-coming-with-new-netflix-and-youtube-apps/">TiVo Premiere updates coming with new Netflix and YouTube apps; Bay Area gets Comcast VOD</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 04 Apr 2012 01:11:00 EST.

The home section houses galleries and search, while television will display scheduled recordings, channel guides and management options for those upcoming shows. Finally, the recent screen keeps tabs on what you've been watching or recording last, all done in that inimitable metro style. There's no launch date yet, but Android and iOS versions are also being readied for release. You can take a video tour of the features right after the break.</p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/02/cetons-q-dvr-companion-app-for-windows-phone-gets-detailed-tour/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Ceton's Q DVR companion app for Windows Phone gets detailed tour (video)</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/02/cetons-q-dvr-companion-app-for-windows-phone-gets-detailed-tour/">Ceton's Q DVR companion app for Windows Phone gets detailed tour (video)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 02 Apr 2012 09:53:00 EST.

The software is being provided by Alticast, while HD DVRs available through Videotron and at retail are from Cisco and Samsung. While it's been a while and we can't quite remember where we put our excitement for all things OCAP (probably tossed when the retail availability dream <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/retail-tru2way-devies-are-officially-doa-even-panasonic-stops-t/">died</a>), Videotron customers can expect a new HD UI, widgets, and a 500GB DVR. At least in this initial push there's no mention of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/07/cablelabs-demos-multiroom-dvr-and-dlna-servers/">multiroom capabilities</a>, although there is the ability to view video on demand content on PCs and mobile devices. It will start rolling out April 4th in the Greater Quebec region with other regions following soon, those interested can check out an English-subtitled trailer as well as a Francophone-only presentation video after the break.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/29/canadas-videotron-finally-delivers-tru2way-based-illico-tv-hd-d/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Canada's Videotron finally delivers tru2way-based illico TV HD DVRs</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/29/canadas-videotron-finally-delivers-tru2way-based-illico-tv-hd-d/">Canada's Videotron finally delivers tru2way-based illico TV HD DVRs</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 29 Mar 2012 12:23:00 EST.

That's because it's the only DVR from a provider that can record five HD shows at once and it also works in multiple rooms of the house thanks to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/RVU/">RVU</a>. All that upside came with a big downside, though, the old and ugly DirecTV DVR user interface. We figured it was only a matter of time before <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/03/directvs-new-hd-ui-revealed-to-testers-is-prettier-and-faster/">DirecTV's new HD user interface</a> made it's way to the big daddy, and now <em>Solid Signal</em> reports that it's everything you've been waiting for with only slight differences from the HR24. No word on exactly when this update will roll out to HR34 DVRs everywhere, but we suspect it can't be long now.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/29/directvs-latest-hd-interface-comes-to-the-five-tuner-hr34-dvr/">DirecTV's latest HD interface comes to the five tuner HR34 DVR</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 29 Mar 2012 00:48:00 EST.

As we also noted, it only requires a one year service agreement at $14.99 per month or $12.99 for users with multiple boxes, which is cheaper than last year's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/17/tivo-pricing-changes-may-19th-100-premiere-20-month-servic/">$19.99 / month package</a> (Lifetime Service is still available as well).

The new pricing should let multi-TiVo homes compete even better with cable company DVR offerings, and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/23/tivo-q4-transcoder-ip-set-top-box/">once the new multiroom boxes arrive this summer</a> things should only get better.

TiVo may be waiting for its official birthday March 31st to unwrap the new models, but a poster at <em>TiVo Community</em> has dug up listings at Amazon and JR.com showing the new TCD746500 TiVo Premiere with 500GB HDD retailing for $149 (with 1 year service plan at $14.99, of course). That can be compared to the original's 320GB drive that's currently selling at around $80. The listings hint at shipments beginning in the next few weeks, while these drives certainly won't sate the hunger of those pursuing a 1TB Premiere XL or quad tuner <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/07/tivo-premiere-elite-will-bring-quad-tuners-2tb-storage-to-retai/">Elite</a> model, a claimed extra 30 or so hours of HD recording could be worth waiting for, even at the higher price. We're not seeing indications of any other differences yet, but we'll keep you updated if more information becomes available.<br /><br />[Thanks, <a href="https://twitter.com/brennokbob/status/183070004995043328">@BrennokBob</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/23/tivo-premiere-500gb-149-leaked/">TiVo Premiere DVRs may get more storage soon, $149 500GB units appear for preorders</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 23 Mar 2012 03:47:00 EST.

Beyond the latest and greatest Google-provided underpinnings, the update will also expand their photo capabilities with activation from the lock screen and the ability to take panoramic pictures, plus a new "Recopla" app for viewing DVR'd TV programs from its Blu-ray recorders. They'll also have an enhanced "Small Apps" feature that lets users multitask more efficiently, pulling up a windowed web browser, calculator or remote control app. Finally, if the only thing keeping you from the dual-screen Tablet P was its 3G radio and associated data plans, Sony has also announced a WiFi-only version due April 21st with optional color panels for 50,000 yen ($600 US).

CEO Tom Rogers thanked Jim for his "commitment to innovation" in a statement, and the filing indicates he will stick around as a $25,000 per month consultant in "patent matters and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/03/tivo-att-patent-settlement-dvr-lawsuit/">litigation</a>" among other things -- nice work if you can get it -- until March 15, 2015, but his reason for stepping down is unspecified. As <i>Multichannel News</i> notes, Barton was working with fellow co-founder Mike Ramsay (who left in 2007) at Silicon Graphics on a project for Time Warner when they had the idea for the DVR and eventually founded TiVo in 1997. That early movement may not have resulted in dominance over pay-Tv provided DVRs, but some favorable legal settlements and successful partnerships like its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/08/virgin-media-2011-q4/">deal with Virgin Media</a> mean he's leaving the company with its prospects looking a bit better than they did back in the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2005/02/08/tivo-deathwatch/">dark days of '05</a>.<br /><br />[Thanks, David]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/17/tivo-co-founder-cto-jim-barton-resigns/">TiVo co-founder, CTO Jim Barton resigns</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 17 Mar 2012 13:51:00 EST.

As we saw in our <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/09/dish-network-hopper-dvr-and-joey-extender-hands-on/">hands-on in January</a>, they have a UI similar to the previous 922 boxes, with a few new screens added for new features and icon-based tile navigation. The Hopper DVR itself packs a 2TB drive which is put to use by PrimeTime Anytime, a feature that records three hours of network programming every night (using only one of its three tuners, thanks to the magic of satellite transponders) and stores them for eight days, just in case you missed something. The Joey multiroom extender boxes bring the video to other spots in the house and can be wired up over the existing coax thanks to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/moca">MoCA</a> technology. The price for all of this is a whole home DVR fee of $10 per month for the Hopper, and $7 per month for each Joey, while subscribers on the America's Top 200 plan or higher can get a free installation with up to three extenders. The folks over at <i>SatelliteGuys.us</i> got some early hands-on time and have posted detailed impressions, hit the link below for those or check out the press release and our CES video demo after the break. Oh, and the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/10/viasat-12mbps-exede-broadband-gets-official-date-and-data-bund/">Exede-powered</a> satellite broadband package that was announced at CES?

Ultra TV is what the number 15 TV provider (432k subscribers) in the US, WOW!, will be calling the 6 tuner, 500GB multi-room DVR, with MoCA, VOIP and WiFi -- a deal that seems to be a bit better than the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/tivo,rcn">one TiVo offers for the number 16 provider in the US, RCN</a>. The Moxi user interface in the video below looks like <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/moxi-hd-dvr-review/">the Moxi we know</a>, but we assume the DVR gateway and players will resemble the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/10/shaw-gateway-dvr-is-the-six-tuner-son-of-moxi/">Shaw counterparts</a> rather than the retail ones.

If you're a DirecTV subscriber, that satellite receiver you rely on every day might actually be made by Pace. Or, perhaps the box your cable company gave you that you just never gave much thought to. The up and coming set-top box maker has recently even had some success with the biggest cable company of them all, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/pace,comcast">Comcast</a>. The latest partnership for the company trying to overthrow both Motorola and Cisco in the cable box space? <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/TiVo/">TiVo</a>. This global partnership will ensure that TV providers that buy hardware from Pace and software from TiVo will have almost no work left to do. In other words, it'll make way for an out-of-the box TiVo-verified platform. Pace indicates this will help answer the "strong interest" from TiVo's list of service providers, but that seems a bit optimistic.

From the sound of things, the company will deliver a four stream transcoder similar to the one <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/11/updated-tivo-netflix-youtube-interfaces-and-ipad-streaming-hand/">we saw demonstrated at CES</a> (pictured above) capable of dishing out video to multiple devices (phones, tablets, etc.) within the home simultaneously. Also on the way is an IP set-top box coming to retail that sounds very much like the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/13/tivo-premiere-q-and-preview-boxes-are-official-along-with-an-upd/">TiVo Preview</a> multiroom extender, however it could include access to internet video services as well. As mentioned on <em>Tech of the Hub</em>, CEO Tom Rogers' statements indicate the transcoder will enable both live streaming and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/directv,nomad">DirecTV Nomad</a>-style "high speed" sideloading of recorded content for offline viewing. More concrete are its positive numbers from the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/08/virgin-media-2011-q4/">partnership with Virgin Media in the UK</a>, and progress on a plan for Pace to develop TiVo-compatible set-top boxes for cable operators here and abroad. The <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/09/comcast-will-open-up-its-video-on-demand-to-tivo-premiere-dvrs-a/">Comcast partnership</a> is also apparently progressing, with VOD access in beta trials and preparing to launch "soon" in the San Francisco area.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/tivo-network-transcoder-hands-on/">TiVo network transcoder hands-on</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/tivo-network-transcoder-hands-on/#4741374"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/tivostreaming01lg_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/tivo-network-transcoder-hands-on/#4741375"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/tivostreaming02lg_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/tivo-network-transcoder-hands-on/#4741376"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/tivostreaming03lg_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/tivo-network-transcoder-hands-on/#4741377"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/tivostreaming04lg_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/tivo-network-transcoder-hands-on/#4741378"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/tivostreaming05lg_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/23/tivo-q4-transcoder-ip-set-top-box/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>TiVo releases Q4 results, announces transcoder and IP set-top box on the way</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/23/tivo-q4-transcoder-ip-set-top-box/">TiVo releases Q4 results, announces transcoder and IP set-top box on the way</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 23 Feb 2012 18:28:00 EST.

Initially, a note on the company's home page indicated tech support and guide data would come to an end at the end of 2013 as noted by <em>Zatz Not Funny</em>, but references to that have since been removed. Potentially abandoned users on <i>AVS Forum</i> have already started looking for alternative ways to keep the guide data flowing and possibly get help from Arris in prying open the code to do so. We've contacted Arris for more information but haven't received a response yet -- we'll update you when / if we do. In the meantime Digeo's baby is still operational, so owners can enjoy however much time they have left, we'd recommend studying up on the stages of grief so you'll understand how to handle them over the next several months.<br /><br /><strong>Update</strong>: Arris has updated its page, claiming the discontinuation notice was an "error", and that it has "no plans" to discontinue service. Satisfied?<br /><br />[Thanks, Alfred]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/11/arris-brings-moxi-hd-dvr-sales-to-an-end-plans-to-cut-off-guide/">Arris brings Moxi HD DVR sales to an end, plans to cut off guide data after 2013... maybe</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 11 Feb 2012 09:33:00 EST.
