TiVo offers YouTube content via DVR
TiVo today announced the availability of YouTube content via TiVo DVR. Thanks to a partnership between the two companies, broadband-connected subscribers with TiVo Series3(TM) and TiVo HD DVRs, to access hundreds of millions of user generated videos hosted on YouTube.
“With YouTube content now available on TiVo, on top of all the movies, music videos, songs and TV shows that are simply unavailable on cable and satellite, TiVo subscribers have more choice on their TV sets than any other TV viewers in the world,” said Tom Rogers, President and CEO of TiVo Inc. Through the partnership, users will also be able to log into their YouTube accounts directly through the TV to access their videos, channels and playlists.
YouTube is just as excited about the joint venture. ”YouTube brings video where the audience is — across the Web and onto mobile devices, TVs and video games,” said Hunter Walk, YouTube’s director of product management. “The partnership with TiVo extends our ability to make YouTube accessible anywhere and lets people watch what they want, when they want it.”
Over the next few weeks TiVo will roll-out a software upgrade to Series3 and TiVo HD DVRs which will enable the YouTube feature. For more information on how to view YouTube videos on the TV via a TiVo DVR visit their website.
