TiVo on your computer

Interesting news broke this morning on our favorite DVR:

"TiVo Inc. and Nero AG of Germany were set to announce Monday that they will be launching a package that turns a Windows PC into a TV recorder, just like a TiVo set-top box," according to AP.

The $199 software package, which includes a remote, allows users to record shows on their PC using the ubiquitous TiVo interface, which in itself is worth the retail cost. The software will be available Oct. 15. The program will also let users transfer the recorded shows onto a normal TiVo for viewing on the living-room big screen.

Cheers -- I love hearing TiVo news! This and the company's other recent re-deal with DirecTV have made quite a splash.
