Apparently, Yahoo and TiVo have inked a pretty nifty deal for TiVo customers.
Now you can schedule recordings on your TiVo® box from any internet connection.
Sweet. It seems like more and more services are starting to hookup and share information. While this is good for us consumers on the surface, just think of the sheer amounts of marketing data that Yahoo will be collecting now through TiVo customers. I think I’ll keep my remote as my means of setting up recordings.
To record a program, a user simply selects an option to “record to my TiVo box” from any Yahoo TV show page. The request would then be sent to the TiVo, and arrives within one or two hours if the unit is connected to a broadband network, or within 36 hours if TiVo must dial in for updates.
Hope everyone that dials-in knows what they want to watch a day and a half in advance.
