Posted by James Fee in "HARDWARE" @ 01:30 PM
"TiVo demonstrated Thursday at CES 2005 a high-definition cable ready DVR that will soon allow customers to use the TiVo service without a set-top box. The new service will be delivered over the Internet, the company said, and embraces the CableCARD initiative, which allows televisions to link to digital cable systems without the use of an external box. "By eliminating the need for a separate set top box, consumers will enjoy more choice and flexibility over their entertainment delivery," said Mike Ramsay, chairman and chief executive officer, TiVo."
It's great news, but don't expect it until "early 2006". Also keep in mind that the HD DirecTV TiVo costs $999. 8O
