Comcast Officially Launches TiVo Service

Well, it looks like the USA Today article I spotted last night was just the first to cover the official launch. Today Comcast and TiVo put out a press release announcing the official launch of the TiVo software on Comcast in the Boston area.

TV fans in the Greater Boston area now have a new choice for recording their favorite programs with the launch of the Comcast Digital Video Recorder (DVR) with TiVo® service. The new service combines TiVo’s award-winning interface and exclusive features, including WishList® searches, TiVo Suggestions and Season Pass™ recordings, with Comcast’s comprehensive channel lineup and massive On Demand library - which includes the most high-definition viewing choices on the market - in one box.

It certainly is garnering a lot of press: USA Today, The Boston Globe, AdWeek, and countless blogs.

Including Doug Aamoth of CrunchGear who has had it installed and have posted a ‘first look video‘.

TiVo In The Press

The LA Times caught up with TiVo CEO Tom Rogers at CES for an interview. They’ve posted an MP3 audio file of part of the interview as well as an article which summarizes some of the specific points raised. They talked mainly of TiVo’s efforts to evolve with the market and their efforts to become a media access hub for the living room.

Today’s USA Today also has an article on TiVo. This one focuses on the Comcast roll-out of the TiVo OCAP/Tru2Way software. While it doesn’t really cover anything readers of this blog wouldn’t have already seen, it is nice to see the software getting some national press. It does state that Comcast will begin marketing the software on Tuesday. Since they have previously marketed it to their users, perhaps it means there will be a broader marketing push. It is good press for TiVo.
