TiVo News #94: Sporty features & Holiday spice

Letter from the Editor

It’s that time of year, isn’t it? Time to give. Time to get.
So let’s kick it off by giving YOU your Fall 2006 TiVo® Service Update, including:

• SMARTER SPORTS: With the new Extend Live feature, you’ll never miss the end of a game again. [Crowd cheers.] Now the TiVo service will automatically prompt you to add additional time for live events.
• MORE SECURITY: Choose either WEP or WPA security for your wireless networks (WPA requires the TiVo Wireless Network Adapter) [Networking nerds cheer.]

A new message will appear on your TiVo box the minute your better, stronger, faster (oh, yeah) TiVo Service Update arrives (and yes, you have the right to a Priority List). Until then, I’ll say this:

Zip-zip-hooray!
Shanan

P.S. Here’s a secret holiday shopping tip: While supplies last, you can get an 80-hour TiVo® Series2™ box FREE when you buy a TiVo service gift card! Only good while supplies last. (And I predict they’ll be gone by next newsletter.) So, hurry, before the holiday madness ensues, let me give you a tour of the TiVo Workshop. And keep your eye out for a bright, new stocking stuffer from TiVo…

It’s an exception to the rule when you buy the new TiVo Series3 HD box: a one-time opportunity to transfer your Product Lifetime service from a Series1™ or Series2™ box to a new Series3™ for only $199. As an added bonus, we’ll keep service activated on your current box for an additional 12 months. Hurry, offer ends 12/31/06!

TiVo subscribers do NOT need a Martha magazine to plan Thanksgiving dinner, okay? You can get cookin’ with a creative WishList® search.

• From Pick Programs, select Create a WishList® search.
• Select Keyword and enter your favorite turkey-day trimmings, like CRANBERRY, PUMPKIN, PARSNIPS, STUFFING, etc. (use quotes with the PAUSE button to indicate exact phrase, like “PUMPKIN PIE”).
• Select Arts and Living as a category and Cooking as a subcategory.
• Select View upcoming episodes to see which how-to shows serve up the best recipes and schedule recordings as the tummy tempts you.

Bonus tip: Got siblings? Use a TiVoToGo™ transfer to dish out cooking assignments.

APPLE® IPOD® SHUFFLE (1GB)

Point Value: 15,000 points

Description:

Sounds great to me: Get an iPod Shuffle in exchange for TiVo Points.

Success is… To laugh often and much; To appreciate beauty and find the best in others; And, if you’re going to watch TV… To create more TiVo WishList searches. It’s hands-down the best way to find shows worth watching, including plenty you never knew even existed, featuring your favorite star, sports team or even subject, like Traveling to Timbuktu. I kid you not.

Find out which Actor is currently most searched amongst TiVo subscribers. Don’t agree? Vote with your remote by creating one (or many) of your own. Let’s see if you can move the scale…
