Bleeding Edge TV 397: TiVo Premiere Elite hands-on
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Full Episodes, Gizmatic, Features, HDTV, Home Entertainment, Podcasts, Videocasts, Videos,
In this episode we open up the TiVo Premiere Elite. The Premiere Elite is the first quad-tuner TiVo device, which enables you to record up to four separate programs at once, with the option to watch a fifth already-recorded show. In addition, it's dual core powered, which makes it much faster than the regular TiVo Premiere, and it packs in a 2 TB hard drive, enough to record over 300 hours of HD video. To better work with certain cable TV systems, its got MoCA networking support, and can stream content (rather than having to copy) between TiVo units.
If you're interested, you can pick up the TiVo Premiere Elite now on Amazon.

Unboxing Live 057: TiVo Premiere Series 4
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, HDTV, Home Entertainment, Videocasts,
TiVo recently launched their TiVo Premiere Series4 DVR with much hype, only to reveal a box that, at least for now, is crippled and underpowered. Sure, there’s a new Flash-based TiVo interface, but the box couldn’t be any more plain, and the dual core processor is currently being held back from its full potential, as TiVo tries to get both cores working with its new interface. In the meantime, only one core is enabled, and that makes from some painfully slow TiVo menu browsing. We got our hands on the TiVo Premiere, and wanted to give you a look at the packaging, and the device itself, as well as the included accessories in the box. At least here, we can see that TiVo did something right.
