Alviso, Calif.-based TiVo expects to implement its new service by the end of the year through an upgrade to the TiVo Desktop software, the AP reported. The software, which some subscribers already use to view photos from the Web and listen to Internet radio, will cost $24.95 for new users and will be a free upgrade for current users.
The provider of technology and services for digital video recorders said its service will only work with downloaded videos that are not copy-protected, such as many video podcasts and user-generated clips, AP said.
Content bought from online stores like Movieling or iTunes will not be supported, although TiVo officials said they will try to offer protected content in the future, the AP reported
TiVo will also introduce a feature that will allow users to set up a private channel to distribute their own video to the TiVo boxes of people who have agreed to be on a private network, the AP said
