TiVo's Jolna acknowledged the seriousness of the privacy issues involved, but said privacy advocates shouldn't fear TiVo. We don't have your personal information. It always stays on your box in your house. Here's how it works. The box stores television broadcasts in its memory.
Users can pause and rewind like a VCR, even in the middle of a live show.
TiVo owners can also preselect and record up to 20 hours of programming. Viewers can enter tastes and preferences, which TiVo can match against the next 14 days of programming. To help TiVo learn, users hit an up or down arrow on their remote to indicate whether they like the show they're watching. Send it . Use this version.
