TiVo Switched Video Tuning Adapters Appear at CableLabs
At long last, the SDV dongles that TiVo promised would arrive this year from Motorola and Cisco have been submitted to CableLabs for formal testing. For those unfamiliar, these little devices allow for two way communication between CableCard boxes and Cable Companies, so that only the needed programming data is sent, and bandwidth is conserved. Dave Zatz says its a good start to fixing the whole CableCard HD Programming debacle, even if its widely unsupported and a bit clunky. A shot of the Cisco box below. [via Zatz Not Funny]


For any one that has a Jailbroken iPhone, you can now control your TiVo Series 3 or TiVo HD via the iPhone. If you have a TiVo Series 2, TiVo Series 3 or TiVo HD you can view your Now Playing lists. While I can’t provide a direct link to TiVo Remote, it is available via either Cydia or Installer.
