"defining" would seem to be the clue word. as in "definition". High that is.
what other forthcoming announcement from TiVo could be considered a defining one?
seems an odd word choice if not intentionally selected to tease S3.

well I think it is about the S3 no doubt but finally putting out a cable ready and HD capable dual tuner is way a defining moment for TiVo inc.

Must be defining what a "Tivo House Party" is ... :)

Shanan is going to announce a contest whereby the winning entry, after sucessfully passing a battery of personal and psychological screening tests, will receive the opportunity to win a lifetime subscription to her.
:up: :up: :up:
I'll come back down to reality now and assume it's the Series 3.
Smart, witty, successful women don't seem to care for me anyway.
I don't know if we need a teaser for Shanan S3 ... seems like the S1 is enough of a tease. :)
Now, a teaser for the Tivo S3 - that's a different story.

Seriously though, I think I've cracked the code.
Shanan says, "The twinkling eyes of your best TiVo friend."
The TiVo remote for the Series 3 is backlit (twinkling eyes).
The TiVo remote is your best TiVo friend...and, the best friend of your TiVo.
You heard it here first.

Actually if we're talking about TiVo trends then it'll be announced on a Tuesday, be avilable immediately from TiVo.com, and available at retail the following Monday. So if the 9/17 stock date the Best Buy guy found is right then the announcement will most likely come the Tuesday before that.

Sunday would be the start of the retail week, the day the circulars come out.

I'm totally psyched about the release of the S3, and I hope it's announced ASAP.
Hopefully, the announcement is made on the 1st, and it's available in stores on the 3rd. If not then I'd rather skip the next week and have the announcement on the 15th with availability on the 17th.
As much as I am looking forward to it, and I can't wait to get my hands one, I don't want it released on the 10th.

I don't want it released on the 10th. are you thinking of 9/11 :confused: Man I hope TiVo inc is not boneheaded enough to do that. It is kind of why I discounted the 12th and went with the 19th
The 10th is a Sunday though and typically no release news comes out on Sunday

Hasn't that already happened?

Yes. That is what I was thinking. I don't want to see it released that week. I agree with you, and I would bet my last dime that TiVo would never do that.
The 10th is a Sunday though and typically no release news comes out on Sunday
It would have to be announcement on the 8th and available on the 10th. Again, I seriously doubt this would ever happen. Besides being a bad business decision, TiVo has too much class to do that :up:

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Letter from the Editor
August's over already?! Good thing we made it outrageously easy to catch all the season premieres, including new shows and old favorites, with new TiVo Guru Guide recommendations, queued up and ready for your instant-gratification, online-scheduling pleasure (better get that network adapter, huh?). Or, if you're picky about your premieres and only want to schedule one or two, we've listed the entire Fall TV premiere schedule in chronological order so you can do your own thing—whatever that thing may be.
Meanwhile, keep your eyes peeled over the next few weeks for a defining moment, oh yes. Watch your e-mail Inbox. Your TiVo Central screen. The twinkling eyes of your best TiVo friend.

P.S. This was fun: Jim Barton, the father of TiVo technology, received enthusiastic applause and a 2006 Emmy® award last week to the beat of a TiVo "Bloop." The show's producers decided to fill the Shrine Auditorium with the familiar sound effect just before the TiVo service was announced as winner. Clever, that Academy!

TiVo Tip: Season Pass™ Alert
What happens when the WB network merges with the UPN network? Apparently, a new network called CW is born. If you have a favorite WB or UPN show, here's how to safeguard against missing an episode during the naming transition:
Review your Season Pass™ recordings for UPN or WB programs
Create a TITLE WishList® search for each of those shows, entering the exact title. Use the PAUSE button for quotes to indicate exact phrase—and don't worry about apostrophes. (example: "AMERICAS TOP MODEL"; "ONE TREE HILL", "EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS", "VERONICA MARS", etc.)
Select "Auto-record"
Select "View Upcoming Programs" to ensure the programs you want are being recorded
If necessary, edit the Title WishList search
Once the merger is complete (around Sept. 18), and after you ensure your CW Season Pass recordings are still appearing in your To Do List, you can delete your WishList searches. For more information on how to use WishList searches, go to Using WishList Searches.
Bonus Tip: Superfans of said show may want to keep WishList searches, as they're an excellent way to catch specials, retrospectives, and interviews with cast members on talk shows.

Get the TV that's good for you with TiVo KidZone Guides!
Wondering what "TiVo Presents E/I Programming" is all about? It's a KidZone Guide dedicated to 'Educational and Informational' programming for kids—programs the broadcaster deems particularly beneficial for children, having positive effects on their social development as well as emotional and cognitive well-being. Turns out research over the past decade confirms that E/I programming can positively influence a child's readiness to start school and do well.
What a smart idea, those TiVo KidZone Guides! Have a browse.
Curious about the origin of E/I programming? Guidelines adopted by the FCC in 2004 required broadcasters to air E/I programming for children, ages 16 and under, for a minimum of three hours per week. You can recognize such a program by the on-screen "watermark," a uniform E/I symbol that appears throughout the duration of the show.

9/12 isnt out of the question, not at all. In fact, Apple is planning an event on the 12th as well...

Merom updates for the iMac + Mac Mini

Cancel that order, and wait for this months product announcements.

Hmmm, I wonder if this has anything to do with the shipping being delayed on this order until Sept. 6th. I thought it seemed odd that they shipped the ipod nano (engraved no less), the very next day, but the imac, which I purchased with all the default options, and should be just a pre-made box sitting there in the warehouse, was delayed........
