Yahoo! weather, traffic, and photos are available by entering your account info on the TiVo box. Also being previewed are Internet radio (Live365), the podcaster application I saw at Digital Life, Fandango movie tickets, and some various games. Beta testing is scheduled to continue into early 2006. TiVo’s really starting to hit their stride in adding value over the typical cable-co DVR. Once they bundle these features with the upcoming dual HD tuner CableCARD model, they’ll really have something worth drooling over."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/hme.jpg" /><br /><br />It is interesting how significant Yahoo's impact on these TiVo screenshots is. It would be nice to see comparisons between the new TiVo and XBox 360 and/or MCE.
