David Pogue has an interesting article discussing upcoming TiVO features in today’s Circuits section of the New York Times. The good news is that, as of April, the phone jack requirement to access program data will go away, and you will be able to connect to their service online. The not so good news is that it looks like those of us with first series machines will not get all of the new features. I guess I’m not that concerned about that particular aspect, I’m going to hold onto this first generation machine, with its lifetime subscription to the service, as long as I can.
