"With so much HD content now available, we felt it was vital to offer
consumers an easy way to record as much television programming as they'd like
to watch at a later time without ever having to worry about capacity," said
Andrew Morrison, Director of Product Platforms at TiVo. "What is great about
the XL is it gives content lovers plenty of room for all the programming they
love, saving them from having to decide if they need to prematurely delete a
favorite movie or a big game memory when space gets tight. Satellite or cable
DVRs simply can't match it."
On top of increased recording capacity, the TiVo HD XL DVR offers all the
innovative broadband features that TiVo lovers have grown accustomed and
addicted to. Users can download thousands of movies & TV shows directly to
the TV, browse and watch endless YouTube videos, listen to thousands of songs
from Rhapsody, or view hundreds of music videos from Music Choice.
Features exclusive to TiVo HD XL include the 150 hours of HD recording
space, THX certification, a Series3 premium backlit remote control and an
included HDMI cable.
Similar to TiVo HD, dual tuners allow subscribers to record two different
shows in HD at the same time, while watching a third pre-recorded show. The
TiVo HD XL is designed to fit seamlessly into the most discerning home theater
systems, compatible with HD digital cable, analog cable and over-the-air
digital HD (ATSC).
As with the TiVo HD, the TiVo HD XL box delivers the best in high
definition entertainment, allowing the consumer to experience TiVo's acclaimed
service features, such as Season Pass(TM) recordings, Universal Swivel Search
and WishList(R) searches, in sharp, vivid high definition images. Extensive
video analysis and performance testing by THX ensures content will always
record and playback at the maximum quality and resolution.
"TiVo pioneered the DVR category, and they are maintaining that position
with the new high performance, high capacity TiVo HD XL," said Dr. Michael
Rudd, Chief AV Architect at THX. "As more consumers adopt high definition
programming, they will expect their recorded content to reflect the same level
of quality and consistency as the original broadcasts. With a Terabyte hard
drive, the TiVo HD XL lets users enjoy more HD movies, sports and other
programs in high definition than ever before, and THX certification ensures
that the quality is always superb."
The TiVo HD XL box joins the existing TiVo product line, and is available
online today for $599.99 at http://www.tivo.com. Other retailers that will
unveil TiVo HD XL as early as next week include Magnolia Home Theater, Amazon,
