Very cool. I always thought Tivo should do something like this. I wonder what the interface will be like?
It's amazing what they can do with that damn series 2.

That's pretty cool. For a future advancement, I am hoping TiVo will come out with a video overlay package for HME. That would provide a nice interface so you could track you fantasy team while watching the games.

There's a Showcase link about it on my Tivo. It says to go to www.tivo.com/getready, which is just a sight telling you how to get your Tivo networked so you can use Music, etc.

I thought text, graphic overlay over video was already built into HME but not made available to users.
For some reason... that's what I recall from somewhere. Anyone remember?
Yes, it would definately be necessary to have overlay for this to be super cool.

The public HME specification hasn't been updated in quite some time. However the software has. So it's very possible that there are new HME possibilities which just haven't been published yet.

I just wished they did it for Yahoo! fantasy. I bought a laptop 2 years ago just so I could watch the games and not have to run back and forth to the study. They do alot with Yahoo, maybe my wishes will be answered.

I thought the same thing about Yahoo. But the only reason I can see why they wouldnt do the yahoo stat thing is because Yahoo! charges 9.95 for the stattracker. If Tivo had it on their system, they would be losing money for their product.

My yahoo league paid for the stattracker and since it is tied into my yahoo login it would know I've already paid. If you didn't pay it could just not give you the live stats, like on the website.

Yah, I saw it this morning before work but held off until I could learn more. It didn't look like anything more than an ad for CBS Sportsline at the time, but based on the various press it looks like some sort of HME app.

See a different services stats?
My league uses AOL. So I'm trying to figure out a way to see my stats using Sportsline. If anyone figures out if you can create your own team using Sportsline (and not really be in a league) and use this service, please post the information.
Thanks,
JC

I guess I didn't wait long enough - there's now a "Ready to Play?" entry in the "Play Fantasy Football on Tivo" showcase, which runs a new HME application, "CBS SportsLine Fantasy Football Companion"

Here's to hoping that the CBS Sportsline leagues that got moved over to NFL.com work with this app as well. (NFL.com is run by Sportsline)

Strangely, i would buy the $10 stattracker from yahoo if I could also view the stats on Tivo.
I don't have any on CBS.
But darn, that is some sweet stuff they're offering.

I get the same error. For me it makes sense since I'm no longer in a league. My buddy gave me his credentials and I'll check it out again tonight and see what the interface looks like (if it works).

Very Cool.
I tested the Fantasy Football on TiVo last night during the opening NFL game and it was sweeet!!!
I could see my whole league, each matchup, rosters, scores, and standings, I already love it.

 No Fantasy Football internet option, no Yahoo (it has been over two months now since I switched from dial-up and went high-speed)
I do get APPSTV and I did get Product Watch while it was available.

Call Tivo and ask them to look into it.

Damn, so this only works w/ CBS leagues? I wish you could just input your players and scoring and see how your guys are doing, since I have yahoo.

That would be vey difficult to do since every FF league does scoring a bit different. Plus, you aren't going to get someone to provide their stats information but not have an exclusive to their FF system.

Ok it would be nice to just input your team and show you their real stats, you can roughly figure out the points.
