Are You Watching YouTube on Your TiVo?

I recently mentioned the fact that I have a TiVo unit on loan, and I’m enjoying it quite a lot. Once you start using it, it’s difficult to start using any other kind of DVR. With the latest software update to this particular TiVo, I can now watch YouTube videos on my big screen tv.

When you connect your TiVo DVR to your home network and high-speed Internet connection you get so much more than just a basic DVR.

  1. Download thousands of movies and TV shows from Amazon Unbox
  2. Listen to millions of songs with the Rhapsody music service
  3. Share photos and home movies with friends & family, and view them on the TV
  4. Transfer your favorite TV shows to your laptop or iPod using your PC or Mac

But don’t worry if you can’t connect your TiVo DVR to the Internet. As long as you have a phone line available, TiVo will still find and record all your favorite shows, keep your TV schedule current, and make sure your TiVo DVR has the latest updates.

Like I already said, there’s just no way that I could ever switch to another DVR service after using TiVo. The experience has been amazing, and I’m definitely happy that I tried it out.

The guys over at http://xbmc.org have had YouTube on the Xbox for a long time. The problem with it though is that the quality of YouTube videos is horrendous….

It’s a shame that Tivo hasn’t been able to make it’s way to Canada. I don’t blame them for a second as I am sure the CRTC (gov’t control group for broadcasting) is the one stopping it from happening. But nice tool, they seem to be doing what MS is letting slide on MCE.
