TiVo to add video podcasts

From Wired News:

Facing up to competition from cable and dish providers at one end and from the likes of Microsoft and Apple at the other, TiVo will now offer web video podcasts sourced from both major networks and subscribers.

The video is free of the DRM yoke and requires the $25 Plus codec pack for TiVo’s Desktop media management interface. Deals with CBS Interactive, Reuters and Forbes have already been struck, meaning that TV and news will be among the first available content bridging these companies’ websites and your DVR.

Nice!

I can’t imagine the $25 buy-in will last very long.

TiVo-owners, check out Tiki Bar TV when this gets added to your box. (I know, it’s not the trendiest of video podcasts, but it’s popular for a reason.)
