DALLAS-TV recording company TiVo Inc. announced its new TiVoToGo service will allow users to download recorded TV shows to Windows Mobile devices, including personal digital assistants and smart phones.
“TiVo has always been at the forefront of putting consumers in charge of their entertainment experience,” said Matt Wisk, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for TiVo. “Now, by extending the TiVoToGo service to support multiple Windows Mobile-based devices, TiVo is enabling our subscribers to watch their favorite TV shows whenever and wherever they want.”
Most Windows Mobile devices feature large amounts of storage capacity, either internally or through removable memory cards. Such storage would be essential for downloading TiVo video.
TiVo’s move is notable as a variety of companies are working to offer TV content on mobile phones, either through downloads or over-the-air broadcasts.
