TiVo Offers Online Streaming of Live & DVR Programming

SAN JOSE: The newly launched TiVo Online service allows subscribers to stream both their DVR recordings and live TV via the web.

The new, free TiVo Online offering features a unified search, providing customers a new way to find the programs they want to watch from their cable lineup or a wide variety of streaming services—searchable by shows, actors or networks. It also shows users categories of the most popular programing based on genres and themes.

Users can stream recordings or watch live TV at home via their PC or Mac. Another new function allows customers to create, edit or copy their OnePass selections from one DVR to another. TiVo OnePass gives users one place for all available content to be searchable and easy to find from within the 'My Shows' menu, whether the content is recorded from network TV or is available on supported programmers or from a streaming service such as Hulu.

"The tools available today to find what viewers most want to watch across all sources of programs are not comprehensive, not personalized, or are difficult to use. There just isn't a great way to hone in on exactly what you care about and are most interested in–until now with TiVo Online," said Tom Rogers, TiVo's president and CEO. "TiVo Online is the service you can rely on to guide you right to what you want from cable and video on demand, streaming services and web videos and opens the renown value of TiVo's search to find and connect straight to your favorite content in a simple, easy to use fashion. TiVo has always been the best way to watch TV, but now, TiVo Online becomes the trusted source for doing just that, and it's free and easily accessible to anyone."
