TIVO Possible BETA??

flempitsky · 01-13-2006, 10:13 AM

Does anyone know if TIVO is going to have a BETA for the new HDTV with Cable card and Antenna? I have had TIVO for years and love it I did BETA testing for the Home Media Option stuff. I recently Got an HDTV and have HD Cable. I live between Boston and Providence. I get 30 HD Over The air channels. I get all the major networks in Boston and Providence also a Spanish HD Channel. Are they going to offer a Beta Program? When is it slated for release I saw Q2 is that accurate?

Evidently there is a revised Beta info page up at the TiVo website so it seems likely. I think you will have to be a current cable sub to participate though.

That's the problem I have. I'm going to get cable when the series 3 is available. Though TiVopony didn't rule out D* switchers beta testing when I brought that up. (At the SF dinner this week.)

I have DirecTV with a HR10-250 and Digital Cable. I applied to be a beta tester, I plan on getting one and either switching or keeping both. We'll see, but it would be great to try one out.

Where do you apply as a beta tester?

Never mind - I found it.
