TiVo is a digital video recorder (DVR) developed and marketed by Xperi (previously by TiVo Corporation and TiVo Inc.) and introduced in 1999. TiVo provides an on-screen guide of scheduled broadcast programming television programs, whose features include "OnePass" schedules which record every new episode of a series, and "WishList" searches which allow the user to find and record shows that match their interests by title, actor, director, category, or keyword.

01:39TV, your way.
01:40Hi, everyone. I'm Amber Mogg.
01:43And I'm Scott Lasky.
01:44Even if you don't have TiVo yet, you've probably heard about it on television.
01:49Maybe from your favorite talk show host, and probably from your friends and family.
01:53And they're all saying the very same thing.
01:55Yes.
01:55They love TiVo.
01:57Everyone who has TiVo loves it.
01:59That's right.
01:59It's revolutionizing the way people watch TV.
02:02It puts you in complete control of your television experience.
02:05You'll never miss a second of your favorite shows,
02:08because you can watch them whenever you want, not just when they're on.
02:11With TiVo, there's always something good on TV,
02:14because they're always the programs you've selected.
02:16And right now, you can get TiVo delivered to your home for only $49.99 after mail-in rebate.
02:22Wow, that is an unbelievable deal.
02:23It is.
02:24But I'll bet there are a lot of people out there who don't have it
02:26are probably wondering exactly what is TiVo anyway.
02:30Amber, do you hear something?
02:31Oh, I do.
02:32Let's go check it out.
02:33Okay.
02:35This is TiVo.
02:37Hi, TiVo.
02:38And this is the TiVo box.
02:41This is where all the magic happens.
02:43Right.
02:44TiVo is the world's first, best, and easiest-to-use digital video recorder.
02:48It works with your regular TV, cable, or satellite service.
02:51Basically, TiVo automatically finds and digitally records
02:55hours and hours of your favorite shows and movies whenever they're on,
02:59so you can watch them whenever you want.
03:01All without the hassles of programming your VCR.
03:04No tapes, no timers, no worries.
03:06TiVo knows the channel lineup for every local station and every broadcast, cable, and satellite
03:11network.
03:12TiVo even knows when their schedules change, so recording something you want to watch later
03:16is as simple as selecting the program you want, pushing a couple of buttons, and TiVo does the rest.
03:21You'll never miss your favorite shows again because with TiVo, you can watch on your schedule.
03:25In fact, it doesn't matter how many channels you have, TiVo helps you get more value from
03:30what you're already paying for, so you can see why people love TiVo.
03:34It's changed the way millions of people enjoy TV, allowing them to watch all the shows, series,
03:40movies, and sports they like on their schedules, not the network's.
03:43And throughout the show, lots of actual TiVo users will tell us all the things they love about TiVo.
03:48It's weird to have a passion for such a thing, you know, but I do, obviously I do, I'm standing
03:53here all day waiting to talk about it.
03:55It's too bad we can't get some kind of stickers to put on the inside of our windows that say,
04:00in case of fire, please rescue our TiVos.
04:02The TV doesn't ruin our life anymore.
04:04Now everything revolves around you and your time frame, you know, it's not all about,
04:08you know, TV schedule, it's about your schedule.
04:12I never thought I'd love it that much, but I do.
04:15And I'm not ashamed to say it anymore, you know.
04:17I love my TiVo.
04:19And there's a lot to love.
04:21TiVo is so much easier to use than any other recording device in your living room.
04:25And it can do a lot more than simply record shows and programs.
04:29Absolutely.
04:30If all it did was simply record programs from TV, it wouldn't be much different, excuse me,
04:35wouldn't be much different than, I'm rolling here.
04:37Scott.
04:38I think TiVo's trying to remind you about something.
04:42Oh.
04:43Okay.
04:44Aha!
04:45The TiVo VCR Challenge.
04:46I'm right with you, TiVo.
04:48As I was saying.
04:49Please.
04:50TiVo is as different from your old VCR as your car is from your kid's tricycle.
04:55Now to help demonstrate just how sophisticated yet simple TiVo is, we put together a, um,
05:01little challenge.
05:04We gave Richard a brand new VCR and 20 VHS tapes and instructions to program it to tape
05:10five episodes of two different TV series, two movies, three cooking shows, two home improvement
05:16shows and a three part PBS documentary.
05:19Now we gave Jane a brand new TiVo box, just like the one our viewers will get, and the same
05:25list of programs to record as Richard.
05:27That's only fair, right?
05:29Right.
05:30And throughout the show we'll be checking back in to see who finishes first.
05:35Should be pretty interesting.
05:37Yes, it should.
05:38Want to make a bet?
05:39Only if you give me Jane.
05:41Um, no bet.
05:42Thought so.
05:43No bet.
05:44Thought so.
05:45But enough of that.
05:46Let's meet a TiVo family who says their TV watching and their lives have been transformed
05:49by TiVo.
05:50We had like two VCRs and two TVs and we had to juggle our TV schedules with our work schedule.
05:58Of course I'd get home first so I'd have to set up everything and VCRs are just a pain
06:03in the butt.
06:04We have to remember what time the show is on, when the VCR needs to be turned on obviously,
06:10and which tape needs to go in when, in which order.
06:13Well, he would often forget to set up the VCR, like turn it off or change the tape or make
06:19sure there's enough tape in the VCR before we turn it on.
06:23And of course then I would be very, very upset.
06:25Oh yeah.
06:26The point is TiVo has eliminated all of that.
06:29TiVo is different.
06:31Push of a button and it just does everything.
06:33And then you just go up to the TV when you're ready to watch it and then see what's there
06:36and watch, you know, what it is.
06:38And so now I don't even know when my favorite shows are on, the actual channel or the actual
06:43time.
06:44Just tell it I want this show and it's on.
06:46The first thing out of the box is it's you can pause live TV.
06:50You don't even have to record anything.
06:52You're watching a show, the phone rings, the doorbell rings, the kid's gone to bed but
06:55they're crying, they need to see you.
06:57You pause TV, you go deal with the situation, you take care of it, you come back and you haven't
07:02seen live TV.
07:03You can pause and you can back up.
07:05That's another thing.
07:06They don't say that enough.
07:07You can pause live TV.
07:08You can also reverse live TV.
07:09You miss a line, you miss a joke, you miss a play.
07:12Now that is cool.
07:14That is very cool.
07:16Pause, rewind, replay live TV?
07:19Yep.
07:20And that's just one of TiVo's incredible features.
07:23TiVo is digital.
07:24It's not recording on tape but onto a hard drive.
07:27So, whenever you're watching a live program with TiVo and you hit pause, TiVo continues
07:32to record in the background waiting right where you left off.
07:35When you're interrupted, you just press the pause button on the TiVo remote.
07:38Then do whatever you need to do.
07:41When you come back, just hit play and watch the rest of your show.
07:44It picks up exactly where you left off so you never miss a second.
07:48Pretty cool.
07:49And you can also rewind, replay and slow-mo anything you're watching.
07:52So I can create my own instant replay on live TV.
07:56That means when I'm watching a football game, I can rewind to play after a fumble
08:00and see it again and again, even in slow motion.
08:03Even frame by frame if you want.
08:05And TiVo is simple to set up.
08:07Right out of the box, you'll love how friendly TiVo is.
08:10Whether you're hooking TiVo up to regular TV, cable or satellite,
08:14there are easy instructions to guide you step by step.
08:17You'll be prompted to answer a few quick questions so TiVo can learn
08:21what TV programming and equipment you have,
08:23and then it completes the set up automatically.
08:26And just like that, you're ready to go.
08:28I went out and bought this by myself, came home,
08:30I was so excited about it.
08:31I just followed the simple, simple directions,
08:33plugged it in and started using it.
08:35It is incredibly easy to use.
08:36It couldn't be easier, actually.
08:37You don't even need instructions, truly.
08:39I put it together.
08:40You know, it takes about 10 minutes to hook it up
08:42and the little TiVo guy jances by.
08:44I think my cat could program my TiVo.
08:46I actually called my mom and said,
08:48do you want me to walk you through it over the phone?
08:50I'll help you get it all set up.
08:51She goes, it's already done.
08:52I'm watching them right now.
08:53You know, Amber, we haven't even talked about
08:55season pass recordings, wish list searches,
08:58online scheduling, transferring shows to your computer or DVDs,
09:02and all the other things TiVo can do.
09:04And TiVo does lots more,
09:06tons more than any other digital video recorder can.
09:09We'll tell you about those great features
09:11and more when we come back, like season pass.
09:14You won't believe how easy TiVo makes it to record
09:17every episode of your favorite series.
09:19But first, here's how you can get TiVo delivered to your home

11:19I probably would have given up on TV if it weren't for TiVo.
11:23It just completely changes the way you watch TV.

12:22If you don't think TiVo is the best thing ever,
12:24send it back within 30 days for a 100% money back refund.
12:31You think to yourself, you know, we're not big TV watchers.
12:37Why do we really even need this?
12:39And that was one of the biggest, you know, comments earlier.
12:41Like, why are we going to invest in this when we don't really watch that much TV?
12:44Anyway.
12:45And now I wouldn't say that we're totally obsessed by it,
12:47but we're just very efficient TV watchers.
12:49So we're able to find things that we want to watch when we want to watch them.
12:51It's our time schedule.
12:52And so we, you know, we're just very efficient TV watchers.
12:54So we're able to find things that we want to watch when we want to watch them.
12:57It's our time schedule.
12:58And so we probably view more things and a more variety of things just because of the flexibility.
13:04It looks like Jane's done.
13:05I believe she's just created a season pass for Desperate Housewives.
13:07You know, Amber, we could still give Richard some more time, couldn't we?
13:21I believe she's just created a season pass for Desperate Housewives.
13:25You know, Amber, we could still give Richard some more time, couldn't we?
13:29I think he's going to need it.
13:31Let me ask you, Scott, do you have a favorite show that you can just never really seem to catch?
13:36Well, actually, I used to. I loved to watch Fear Factor, but I was never home when it was on.
13:41But now, with TiVo's season pass, TiVo gets me every episode of Fear Factor every time it's on.
13:47In fact, with TiVo, you'll always have all the programs and movies you love ready to watch on your TV anytime you want to watch them.
13:54TiVo really is TV your way. May I?
13:59The remote?
14:00Come on. I'll give it back.
14:02Okay.
14:03Thank you. I just want to show everyone how easy TiVo really is to use.
14:07I really love that remote. You will give it back, right?
14:10Of course I will. He's not alone. Everyone with TiVo loves this remote.
14:15It's so... well, you'll see.
14:18Okay, here's where you start with the TiVo button right at the top of the remote.
14:21You just press this and you go to TiVo Central.
14:24Now TiVo gives you lots of ways to quickly find your favorites and schedule recordings in advance.
14:29And here's the best part.
14:31You don't have to know what channel, what time, or even what day the show is on.
14:35For instance, you can find shows by title. So here's Fear Factor.
14:39Now we can just tell TiVo to record it once like that.
14:43Or since the program is part of a series, you just tell TiVo you want a season pass.
14:48And it will record every episode all season long, even if the schedule changes.
14:52You can even tell TiVo to skip the reruns.
14:56Because TiVo is smart. It always knows the program schedules.
14:59Just tell it what program you want to record, and it does the rest.
15:03You can also find and record programs by using wish list searches.
15:08This is an incredible feature.
15:10Watch this.
15:12Just tell TiVo your favorite actor or director, and it will automatically find any movies or programs they've done,
15:18and record them for you.
15:20Or you can search by keywords, like auto racing, or the name of a favorite sports team.
15:25Even create combinations like travel and Italy, or chocolate and cooking.
15:31Once you have a wish list set up, TiVo continues finding and recording the programs that match for as long as you keep the wish list.
15:38Now here's the fun part.
15:40When you're ready to do some TV watching, just press here, and TiVo goes to the Now Playing list.
15:47Look, all the shows you've asked for are there.
15:50All neatly organized and labeled and instantly available.
15:54The Fear Factor episodes, the stock car races, the big football game, your cooking shows about chocolate,
16:01movies with your favorite actor, your travel shows about Italy.
16:04All right there.
16:06Digitally recorded and ready for you to watch whenever you want.
16:09You'll never feel like there's nothing good on TV again, because with TiVo, what's on TV is what you've selected.
16:16Before TiVo, it was, you know, you flip the channels and nothing's on, and that's pretty much the end of it.
16:22But with TiVo, there's always something on.
16:25Well, I think one of the hardest things before was pulling the kids away from the TV when we had to do something.
16:32And there's always something to do.
16:33There's homework.
16:34There's dinner.
16:36And before, they would just complain, like, I want to watch my show.
16:39It's only ten more minutes, five more minutes.
16:41So now it's like I have a little secret weapon in my pocket.
16:44I'm like, you guys, I'll just record it.
16:45Don't worry.
16:46The kids think it's like heaven because, you know, they go, they press their button, and everything is shows that they like.
16:54Cartoons.
16:55It's like, wow, this is exactly what I wanted.
16:58We have our little Sunday night.
16:59It's almost like date night where we know that after the kids go to bed, all the shows, it's recorded all week.
17:04We have five, six, seven, eight of them we can watch right then, you know?
17:08So I couldn't imagine life or even watching TV without TiVo at this point.
17:13So you see, it's not just a slogan.
17:16It really is TV your way.
17:19Um, Amber, can I have my remote back, please?
17:22Yes, you can.
17:23But we're not done yet.
17:24When we come back, we'll show you how you can find and record your favorite shows from the web.
17:29And we'll show you how TiVo can transfer shows to your computer or DVD, so you can take them with you wherever you go.
17:35But first, here's how to get TiVo delivered to your home for the lowest price ever.

20:00So you can take them wherever you go. Amazing.
20:03But that's TiVo.
20:04And only TiVo's home media features lets you watch slideshows of your digital photos on your TV.
20:10And listen to your digital music collection on your stereo system.
20:13Don't be fooled by the copycats and the knockoffs.
20:16There's only one TiVo.
20:18The world's first, best, and easiest to use digital video recorder.
20:21Now at the lowest price ever.
20:23TiVo. TV. Your way.
20:25Let's play back this unprecedented offer.
20:28Get a TiVo box delivered to your home for only $49.99 after rebate and service subscription of $12.95 a month.
20:35That's a $150 savings.

20:43I pay extra money for lots of different channels, HBO and Cinemaxx and all those other channels, but I rarely ever know what's on them.
21:01And I really wasn't even getting my money's worth.
21:15Well now TiVo can scan all of my channels and find things that I want.
21:18So I'm really actually getting even more benefit from my cable service than I was without the TiVo.
21:23I see Richard, but where's Jane?
21:27I imagine she's out having lunch with friends or playing tennis or shopping while TiVo is taking care of recording all the shows we asked her to record.
21:36But Richard looks a little frustrated.
21:39I'm sorry Amber, did you say a little?
21:42Too bad you didn't want to make that bet.
21:44Yeah, no chance on that one.
21:45But let's give him a little more time and see if he can do it.
21:48Of course with TiVo you'll never watch TV the same way again because you'll watch on your schedule with complete control.
21:56You can pause, rewind and replay live TV, record every episode of your favorite series with TiVo Season Pass,
22:03and automatically find and record programs and movies that interest you with TiVo's wishlist.
22:08With TiVo you'll always have exactly what you want to watch whenever you want to watch it.
22:13And there's more.
22:15Right TiVo?
22:17It looks like he's trying to tell us something.
22:19Uh, look.
22:21TiVo Online Scheduling.
22:23Right.
22:24TiVo is the only service that lets you schedule recordings on your TiVo box from any internet connection.

22:42And TiVo's website even features daily picks and subscriber recommendations.
22:47So you might discover new shows that you haven't had a chance to see.

25:14Nothing else lets you watch what you want, when you want, like TiVo.
25:18Only TiVo gives you complete control of your TV.
25:21When the phone rings or if the kids need something, just hit pause to freeze live TV.
25:27When you return, hit play and pick up right where you left off.
25:30You can also rewind, replay, even use slow motion, any channel, any time.
25:36The TiVo service is what makes it so smart.
25:38It knows the complete channel lineup for every cable, satellite, and broadcast network,
25:43even your local TV stations for up to two weeks.
25:46Find a show on the on-screen program guide, press record, and TiVo gets it for you.
25:51You can also find a program by title.
25:53The TiVo service knows the channel, time, and date, and will automatically record it, even
25:58if the schedule changes.
25:59If it's a series, you can get a season pass.
26:02And TiVo automatically records every episode, every time it's on.
26:07You'll never miss your favorite shows again.
26:09Only TiVo has wish list searches.
26:11Search for a favorite actor, director, a favorite sport, or anything that interests you.
26:17And the TiVo service automatically finds and records them.
26:20And finally, no more searching through videotapes.
26:23The TiVo service neatly organizes all of your recorded programs into your now playing list,
26:28so they're instantly available.
26:30You'll never again feel there's nothing good on TV.
26:32I probably would have given up on TV if it weren't for TiVo.
26:36It just completely changes the way you watch TV.
26:38I don't necessarily watch more television.
26:40I watch the television that I want to watch, and when I want to watch it.
26:44Away from home when you hear Sting is performing on Letterman?
26:47Only the TiVo service lets you schedule recordings from the web, so your show's waiting at home to watch.
