HowCast joined the TiVoCast lineup back on July 11th. Now Howcast is breaking out - into multiple channels. Where there was formerly a single monolithic ‘Howcast’ channel, there are now four sub-channels: Hot How-To’s, Home & Family, Health & Beauty, and Food & Drink.

I’m not sure what happens to the subscription of those who had subscribed to the monolithic channel, I’d guess it converts into subscription for all four sub-channels. But if you were subscribed leave a comment and let me know. (I’d checked it out, but dropped it.)

The ‘Howcast’ menu item now opens into a sub-menu listing the sub-channels, both online and on the unit: Find Programs & Downloads -> Download TV, Movies, & Web Video -> Browse Other Videos -> All -> Howcast

Oddly Hot How-To’s and Food & Drink both show up at the top level under Find Programs & Downloads -> Download TV, Movies, & Web Video -> Browse Other Videos -> All, while Home & Family and Health & Beauty don’t. But all four are in the sub menu.

Hot How-To’s:

Because “informative” and “fun” don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Get the hottest how-to content on tech, games, money, and more.

Home & Family:

From do-it-yourself projects to quality family time, learn to take care of your house, and the people who make it a home.

Health & Beauty:

Cutting-edge information on feeling great — and looking even better.

Food & Drink:

Life is too short for bad food and weak cocktails. When it comes to food and drinks, we’ve got the latest dish.

TiVo has added a new channel to the TiVoCast lineup - Howcast. As they describe themselves:

Founded by veterans of Google and YouTube, Howcast brings together the personality of user-generated content with the quality of a professional video studio to create engaging, informative, and free how-to videos for consumers. It also offers emerging filmmakers an opportunity to gain experience, exposure, and income. With high quality, compelling video content, Howcast opens new opportunities for viewers, video producers, content distributors, and advertisers.
