TiVo on your PC

TiVo and Nero today announced LiquidTV, a package that brings the TiVo experience to your Windows-based PC available on October 15.

There are plenty of great blog articles covering this new product, like Megazone’s over on Gizmo Lovers.

It looks pretty slick … it’s basically the TiVo interface on your PC, something (some) people have wanted for quite while. It looks like it will still require a subscription to the TiVo service (you get a year free when you purchase the software), so that’s one thing against it when competing against the other media center software out there. Hopefully the superior interface and features will separate it from the pack. Personally this is not something I’m interested in since I already have plenty of TiVo boxes but it’s good to see TiVo branching out.

Got my tickets!

I was selected in the lottery to be able to purchase Rays playoff tickets for Game 5 of the ALDS at Tropicana Field. Hopefully we won’t need to play a fifth game, but I’ll be there at the Trop if we do!

We’re still waiting to see if the Rays will be playing the Twins or the White Sox. If the White Sox win their make-up game against the Tigers tonight, they’ll have to play a tie-breaker game with the Twins to determine the winner of the AL Central.
