TiVo Opens Doors to Third Party Developers

[Gregg Lengling]

TiVo on Monday announced the availability of an early access software development kit that will allow third parties to create entertainment and information applications that extend the TiVo service. The move supports TiVo's new service strategy Tahiti. The kit gives broadcasters and developers a flexible way to deploy media rich broadband applications to TiVo subscribers, helping to create an open platform for those TV viewers, TiVo said.

This is really cool because there is already a ton of very good tools out there that can now become officially supported!  TiVo may still have a chance if they take this serious and are not just blowing smoke to the community.  :rock:

Of course, DirecTiVo users are still at the mercy of those who already said they don't want TiVo products anymore.
