Is there no end to how many new and cool features TiVo will introduce? Today TiVo announced a partnership with Domino's Pizza that will allow TiVo subscribers to order pizza for delivery right from their television. I've previously written about how Domino's pizza tracker is a hit with both of my sons. I can only imagine how they will react when I tell them we will now be able to order pizza using the television instead of the computer. According to an article on washingtonpost.com, the new pizza ordering service will begin this week and will be free to all… Continue reading...
I have been patiently waiting for Netflix and TiVo to form some kind of partnership where I can download or stream Netflix's huge library of Play Now movies straight to my TiVo. Soon, the wait will be over. Netflix on Tivo will be a reality in December. As some of you may know, I am already a big fan of TiVo's integrated Video on Demand service from Amazon.com.

So why is it that I nearly froze at the soccer field last night? It's bad enough the temperature dropped about 15 degrees but the wind on the wide open soccer field provided the icing on the cake. And there I was in shorts and a t-shirt, freezing. Sure, I have real-time weather updates on my iPhone. I just didn't think to look before I left the house.

Dear DISH Network: I am writing you to let you know that as a consumer I think Turbo HD is a horrible name. What exactly is turbo about your high definition programming? When I think turbo, I think faster. Does this mean your high definition programming will get to my house faster? Or that I can watch a high definition program in less time than with cable or DIRECTV? Perhaps you are implying that you have more HD selection than your competition. If this is the case, allow me to suggest some better names for your service: Total HD Ultimate… Continue reading...
