While many TV companies are attacking new technology and seeing it as a threat, CBS seems to be one company that is beginning to stand out as making the most out of new technology for promotion.
CBS recently received press coverage for signing a deal with YouTube to allow some of its content to be legally shown on YouTube. CBS was subsequently happy with the increased promotion for its shows.
Now CBS has cut a deal with TiVo to actually encourage TiVo users to record its shows. That’s pretty extreme considering most TV networks cringe at the idea of having their programs recorded and the adverts skipped.
From February 6th TiVo will embed interactive tags for two weeks to encourage TiVo users to record CBS’ entire new Monday-night lineup. In addition to this TiVo users can view sneak previews of new CBS comedy Rules of Engagement and crime drama Criminal Minds.

GameVideos has an excellent interview on video (see below) with the two Microsoft execs Chris Satchell and Albert Penello, talking about IPTV on the Xbox360.
The Xbox 360 IPTV service is not going to be something like getting YouTube videos on your PC but a service that is more familiar to the cable and satellite TV services that we have now.
Sarchell and Penello talk about downloadable movies, the Xbox 360’s channel guide and even the use of the Xbox 360 as a PVR (gotta love that one!). Although not confirmed directly the interview hints that a larger hard drive will also be offered to cater for the PVR functionality.
Part 1 of the video shown above and you can see part 2 here.

Dave Zatz in conjunction with Stephen Mack, the director of TiVoCast Operations, has started a little money raising campaign for the James Kim Memorial Fund.
James Kim was a senior editor at CNET and recently passed away when he got lost with his family in the Oregan wilderness after taking a number of wrong turns.
The tragic loss has sparked a lot of media interest and Dave Zatz and Stephen Mack are offering a unique TiVo Toaster to entice donations to the Memorial Fund. For every $10 you send via PayPal (to [email protected]) through 1/31/07, you will get one entry in a raffle for the unique TiVo Toaster.
Dave Zatz will send a check to the memorial fund for the total amount sent and will also be generously donating his website’s Google Adsense income for the month of December.
Nice one Dave and Stephen

We’ve all got pretty used to using a PVR to time shift, fast forward and rewind TV but we’ve never really done it with radio. We’ve seen PVR radio functionality on PCs but the place where we really love to listen to radio is in our cars.
Now the European Space Agency (ESA) will be bringing PVR functionality to in-car radios. It will store recorded audio most likely on a solid state flash memory which can withstand the bumpy rides in your car, like when you might accidentally run over Celine Dion for example.
The ESA will be using a new satellite radio system that will require little changes to your car in order to receive it, while also allowing for PVR functionality. The satellite radio system will differ from existing satellite systems in that it will be a lot cheaper.
But would anyone actually use it? I’m not sure I would, especially in the days of podcasts.

For many people a TiVo box has pride of place in the living room, but I don’t think it crossed many peoples minds to stick a TiVo in the bathroom.
RotoRooter is giving you the chance to turn your toilet into a luxury lazy man throne making it more of an entertainment center than the average household’s living room.
Included in the Entertainment Toilet Center setup is an Xbox 360, flat screen TV, laptop, a baseline resistive pedal exerciser, beer fridge with beer tap, iPod dock with toilet roll holder, DVD Player, a Series 2 TiVo, and a comfortable toilet seat.
With all that in there you thought they would have included a Series 3 TiVo and not a Series 2!

A user in the TiVo Community forum stated that upon contacting Time Warner the company said that you cannot use a TiVo with Time Warner Cable.
You might remember back when the Series 3 was launched how difficult cable companies were trying to make it so that for users to use a TiVo Series 3 with their service. In fact Time Warner first of all refused outright to use the Series 3 TiVo with their service before later changing its mind.
If your Cable Company says they don’t support TiVo then you might like to remind them that it is an FCC regulation to provide CableCards for TiVo.
If anyone else has been having these problems with Cable companies please let us know.
