In entertainment technology news, a rather famous software firm has joined creative forces with TiVo and they announced their combined effort that is named Nero LiquidTV/TiVo PC.
This new product will have the functions that TiVo is known for, but can now be used on the computer, without using a set top box. The kit for PC users will include a TV tuner and remote, it is also marketed for the existing TiVo user. More related technogy news can be found at TriValley Technology news. It seems to me that aton of people reper the iPhone over the iPod. I do like the iPhone a lot but it is just so darn difficult to repair. Or at least it sometimes takes a long time if you go through the usual way. I think the trick is to find a good iphone repair service that is independent and can get faster results. The interface is the same as TiVo users are used to only now it can be seen and used on the computer according to Kris Barton the senior vice president of Nero in statements.
Furthermore, he basically said there are some new functions, with a few clicks the recorded programs can be exported to an iPod or even a PlayStation. There is also the capability to burn DVD’s of the programs for use on additional computer gadgets, just about anything with a cpu chip I guess. Apparently, the idea behind this is to target 3 distinct groups of users, the individuals who happens to travel, the college student plus the TiVo user, though not easy to repair.
All in all, the LiquidTV/TiVo PC is all ready to be fully ready possibly within days and will be available at first strictly in the US, Canada and south of the border. It should be very interesting to see just how successful this line actually is in the long run and which country it will sell the best in. Of course, in the United States the iPod and iPhone are still king.
