This is improved server based service by Aplus.Net using apps.tv

Photos need to reside on their free online storage service
www.web-a-photo.com

Once you upload the photos you can watch the photos on any TiVo enabled TV.

Similar to Yahoo photo service, however Aplus.Net offers ordering prints and e-mailing straight from the TiVo. Plus Yahoo service is pretty unstable. Of course Aplus.Net performance is yet to be seen. They have good reputation for their web hosting and data center services. Hopefuly they have done a good job with this one too.

I've noticed some minor bugs. The product is still in beta and even not announced at their web site yet (the 3 mo. old PC based product is) Other than that I was able to watch my snowboarding photos on my friend's 50" plasma TV.

The server solution is a great advantage over the PC solution since one can show his photos to anyone with TiVo enabled TV. Users are not tied to some PC application, which needs to be downloaded on a local PC, which may be a problem in some cases.
