Back in May Kara Swisher interviewed TiVo CEO Tom Rogers at the D: All Things Digital conference. At the time only ‘highlight reels’ with excepts from the interview were posted. Now the complete interview has been posted in four parts.

A couple of weeks ago, just before his discussion at the All Things Digital Conference, Tom Rogers was interviewed on Fox Business, and the video is available online. (Sorry, no embedding.) Nothing really new, he reiterates TiVo’s product and marketing plans and has a few comments on licensing and the EchoStar lawsuit.

It has been over a week since we reported on Tom Rogers discussion with Kara Swisher at the All Things Digital Conference, but The Wall Street Journal has picked up the story. While a little late, it is nice to see coverage like this in the main stream media and not just the blogs and tech press.

The sixth D: All Things Digital conference (aka D6) is going on currently, and Tom Rogers was one of the speakers today. Naturally this has produced a flurry of coverage. Silicon Alley Insider has a pseudo-transcript of Rogers’ Q&A interview with Kara Swisher (see video below). CNET has some short coverage.

But the most exciting news comes via AllThingsD:

What about ease of use? TiVo wireless adapters are good, Rogers responds, acknowledging there’s nevertheless a multiset issue: You still need a second box. But we’re working on a whole-home model, he adds.

That’s a almost a throwaway line, but it is great news. It sounds like they’re moving beyond Multi-Room Viewing to a true distributed system. This isn’t too surprising, as we’re seeing multi-room solutions gaining traction with providers like AT&T U-Verse and various cable MSOs. I have to wonder if this is the ‘Series4′ OCAP/tru2way box Rogers has hinted at in the past, or a different product. I do hope TiVo doesn’t reinvent the wheel, and uses established standards like DLNA. That would allow DLNA-enabled platforms (like the PS3) to access the content and not just some TiVo-mate client box.

Here’s a couple of ‘highlight reels’ of Tom Rogers’ interview at D6.

Kara Swisher at BoomTown, part of D: All Things Digital, caught up with TiVo CEO Tom Rogers yesterday for a quick chat on video near TiVo headquarters in Alviso, CA. Check out the article and the associated video. I give her bonus points for using ‘defenestrated’ in the article’s text, it is a good word.
