TiVo Series4 DVRs Add HD GUI, Unified Search
By Stephen Hopkins
Premiere and Premiere XL DVRs feature HD interface built on Flash, optional QWERTY remote, Pandora and FrameChannel.
Leading up to tonight's event, TiVo touted that Inventing the DVR was just a warmup.
While that may just be PR glitz, TiVo's lack of a major hardware upgrade in nearly four years made this an event worth taking note of.
Predictions were thrown against the wall like spaghetti on an episode of Jersey Shore, so let's see what all stuck for the new DVRs that will ship in April.
Hardware
New slimmer hardware
TiVo Premiere 320GB ($299)
TiVo Premiere XL 1TB ($499)
Single CableCard slot; requires MultiStream card
Optional Bluetooth QWERTY remote
Optional USB Wireless N adapter
Software
New HD GUI with two and three column layouts and Discovery Bar
Unified search of TV, Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, Blockbuster, etc.
