Does TiVo actually STAND for anything?

[PhilG]

I tried searching the forum, but you have no idea how many hits you get when you search for "Tivo" :)

Anyway, does "TiVo" actually STAND for anything (ie, is it an acronym). If so, what??

Thanks - this has been quietly bugging me for years

TV Revolution = TiVolution = TiVo for short... :)

They just made the word up; it's not an acronym, so it doesn't stand for anything.

It isn't an acronym, although there are some good suggestions in these threads from the archive:

"The word doesn't mean or stand for anything, It's just a word we made up and thought sounded cool. "
