TiVo viewers in the Chicago area will soon have the ability to get picks of Chicago Tribune critic Maureen Ryan, uploaded automatically to their TiVo boxes. TiVo, proclaimed holder of the DVR patent and a leading maker of digital video recorders, is expected to announce their partnership with The Tribune today.
TiVo recently introduced other unique digital television services such as downloads from YouTube video service, in order to keep them competitive in the DVR television market. According to the New York Times, One in four households now own a DVR, indicating viewers are becoming more comfortable with the time-shifting abilities of the technology offered by TiVo and other companies.
Currently, there are no plans to extend the critic service into other markets but TiVo feels that if successful, it can, "create new relevance for local television critics."
