RE: https://mastodon.social/@drwhitt/116013020072945187
I’m officially a cord-cutter many, many years after it came into vogue. All of my content is strictly OTA or from streaming services.
Me and my family will greatly miss decades of happily using #TiVo CableCard-based DVRs. As @siracusa has lamented, paraphrasing, there’s really no good equivalent. Took a look at Channels but despite @caseyliss being quite enthusiastic about it, it just seems like a little too fiddly (not to mention that it’s just another subscription cost).

@palafo Sad! I grew up with TiVo. My sister-in-law literally wept in jealousy when I got the very first generation as soon as it came out. It was like magic, zooming past those commercials.

First Netflix DVD, now TiVo.
When people read this headline, they will probably be more shocked to learn that #TiVo was even making new hardware in the 2020s.
I've been a TiVo owner for four years now, and I've loved it so much. I knew this was coming, but it's still heartbreaking.

The iconic TiVo DVR, once a game-changer for TV viewers in the 2000s, is officially discontinued—ending all hardware sales as of Oct. 1. TiVo will still support existing devices, including those with “lifetime plans,” but the focus shifts to its TV operating system on select connected televisions. The final model, TiVo Edge, launched in 2019, marked the end of an era that began in 1999 and revolutionized how we watched and recorded shows. As streaming takes over, TiVo’s legacy lives on in modern TV tech.

TiVo gave us control over our time. It bent to our lives, not the other way around. Its quiet death marks more than the end of a device—it marks the loss of a philosophy.
At Streevo, we believe that idea—freedom through ownership—still matters.
Christine Schulz’s piece, Flowers for TiVo, is part eulogy, part rallying cry for tech that puts people first.

Lilbits: Intel shifts strategy on open source contributions, Ubuntu 25.10 released, and TiVo exits the DVR business
Intel has been a major contributor to open source projects over the years, but the thing about open source software is that anybody can use it – including the company’s competitors. Now Intel says it plans to be more strategic about how it contributes to open source projects moving forward as part of an effort to make sure that it’s benefiting more than its competitors.
The response from open […]

Re #tivo and the end of their DVR hardware… I think they're taking a tremendous risk trying to become a software-only company.
But as a parent contemplating a bunch of road trips in the near future, their connected-vehicle-entertainment system does seem like a neat idea:
"Launched in beta earlier this year, AutoStage leverages TiVo’s content discovery algorithms to deliver family-friendly playlists, podcasts, and short-form videos optimized for backseat passengers. [...] it supports offline downloads for road trips and parental controls to curate age-appropriate feeds."
Of course, you could also accomplish most of that with a cheap Android tablet, a carseat mount, and #Plex (or maybe #Jellyfin if you were building it new today..?)

We could hit the little Thumbs Down button a few times and train our TiVo not to do it but there's a stupid joy in checking it and finding that it has once again decided to record an episode of Naked Attraction despite us instantly deleting the show every single time. We love its little persistence.
