TiVo Unveils TiVo Mini

TiVo Inc.

, the creator of digital video recorders (DVRs) and a leader in advanced television services, today announced the retail availability of TiVo(R) Mini, an all-purpose companion device that allows TiVo users to access apps and affordably extend the viewing of live TV, recorded and streaming content, as well as on-demand* programming, to rooms throughout their homes without an additional TiVo DVR. TiVo Mini is not a DVR, but extends the value of a TiVo four-tuner DVR, the TiVo Premiere 4 or the TiVo Premiere XL4, using one of the DVR's tuners to enable the control and access of content on a TV in another room of the house. TiVo Mini features a much smaller footprint than a DVR and users will enjoy the same intuitive and award-winning TiVo user interface. They will be able to control their main TiVo DVR by scheduling recordings and WishList(R) searches, among other activities. Users will even be able to start a show in the living room and finish it on a TiVo Mini in another room.
