TiVo Tunes into PSP

NEWS

November 21, 2005

PVR outfit TiVo is extending its service to offer users the ability to store TV programming on Sony PSP and Apple iPod.

Tivo-To-Go for PSP and iPod will launch in January, without official endorsement from Apple or Sony. The service will be in direct competition with the likes of iTunes, which charges for video content on a per-download basis.

TiVo is under increased competition from digital cable operators, which are bundling PVRs with their service. The company's strategy has been to incorporate extra features in its offerings.
