David Pogue at the NYTimes had a great article this week extolling all of the innovations the TiVo has come out with. TiVo is the like the little engine that could. Even with cable and satellite operators rolling out DVR capabilities in their set tops, TiVo continues to set the bar for innovation.

Of particular interest to me is how their tapping broadband. As Pogue points out, if you have your TiVo on your home network, you can now upload home movies, download content from Amazon Unbox, record broadband video from many sources, play Internet radio, record podcast and on and on. Despite all the talk of devices meant to bridge the PC and TV, TiVo is probably furthest along in terms of actually bringing broadband capabilities to users today.

Let’s see if the cable and satellite folks keep pace.
