You may be a big fan of Tivo or you may not even know the brand, but I guess you somehow know that internet can be access via television, right? This technology is more used by the oldies, I guess because they believe that computers are way too advance and televisions aren’t. What I’m trying to say is based on my experience, I honestly don’t expect my granny to be typing on a keyboard just to watch an old episode of Oprah or Ellen but I guess it will be much more comfortable for her to be holding a remote because she’s more familiar with it.
This is why WebTV is so ‘in’ for them, this is their eye-opener for the internet. Now if you own a Tivo, I’m not really saying that you’re old but I would say you’re a fan of big screen and live-streaming and I know you will never get to enjoy watching videos on the net other than on your good old TV. Enough said, Tivo has launched their new version called Premier. Some people say nothing much has changed while others say it’s a totally whole new Tivo.
A lot of the people who owned the older version of Tivo find the device cool and pretty amazing, until they found another device that is made to fulfill the things Tivo does plus much more! The result is more and more people are asking why doesn’t the company do something about it? The main problem about Tivo is its versatility and though the look of Tivo premier is quite good the performance is still the consumer’s top priority. Now Tivo premier will only be DirectTV compatible meaning no satellite can make it work.
If you’re into social networking and the like, sorry this Internet Video Box is not for you, since it will never support such. I would have to say that the Tivo premier still needs a lot of things to improve on when it comes to performance because they are pretty much behind Boxee Box and Moxi. It will be available for $299.99 including service. All-in-all I’m not really amazed by this so-called ‘new’ Tivo but if you want to know more you can check the details below.

i was a little concerned about the memory, but 45 hours of HD should translate to at least double regular definition, right?
