TiVo is a personal TV service set up via Philips and/or a Sony Set-Top-Box recievers. IMHO - We will able to do all this and more with both Video and Audio content soon via units such as this one and ZapStation. Click's function for music mirror these.
The TiVo Service also allows you to:
• Digitally record programs with the touch of a button, without setting a timer or using video tapes
• Create your own TV schedule, featuring your favorite programs, ready to watch at the touch of a button
• Set up a TiVo Season Pass™ to record your favorite programs every week, automatically - even if it changes timeslots
• Pause, rewind, slow-motion, and even instant replay live broadcast TV, on command
• Control viewing experience, using three-speeds of fast-forward and rewind
• Quickly and easily search scheduled programs up to two weeks in advance
• Configure program listings to display only the channels and networks you prefer
• Transfer recorded programs to a VCR
• Rate programs based on your preferences using TiVo's exclusive Thumbs Up™ and Thumbs Down™ buttons; TiVo will then find and record other shows you like, automatically - even if you didn't know they were on
• ...And much, much more!
