TiVo to enter China in August

Posted on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 by MegaZone

TiVo will extend its marketing of DVRs (digital video recorders) from Taiwan, its first market in Asia, to China next month, according to TiVo’s Taiwan and Asia sales agent TGC.

Looks like they’ll start off in Shanghai, where they’ve partnered with SiTV of Shanghai Media Group. The article also says that TGC will be adding network features, such as TiVo To Go and TiVo To Come Back next quarter, which will bring them closer to feature parity with the US boxes.

Also: Universal Scientific Industrial (USI), a leading Taiwan-based DMS (design and manufacturing services) provider, will continue to supply hardware equipment for DVR (digital video recording) provider TiVo, which will soon expand its presence from Taiwan to China, according to the Chinese-language Commercial Times.
