TiVo to Showcase Service at "Innoventions" at Disneyland

Tomorrowland Attraction Features Emerging Technologies That Simplify Consumers' Lives

October 25, 2004 - ALVISO, CA – Guests visiting the popular Innoventions attraction at Disneyland in Anaheim, California now have the opportunity to experience the TiVo® service first-hand by participating in a live demonstration. It was designed to give visitors to the Disneyland Resort a closer look at some of the features unique to the TiVo service, as well as explain how it changes the way people watch TV and enjoy digital entertainment.
The TiVo service will be presented to guests who visit the Innoventions attractions by way of a four-minute interactive presentation that follows a "game show" format. Visitors will be shown how specific features work, including the ability to pause and rewind live TV, set-up Season Pass™ recordings, and locate future programming using powerful TiVo search capabilities.

Later this year, the demonstration will also provide visitors with a preview of future service enhancements, including the highly anticipated TiVoToGo™ service, which enables TiVo Series2™ subscribers to securely move their favorite programs to their PC or laptop to watch anywhere.

"This promotion with Disneyland provides TiVo another platform to communicate the benefits of the TiVo service in a unique and fun way to millions of prospective customers," said Matt Wisk, chief marketing officer at TiVo. "Visitors to Disneyland will have an opportunity to experience TiVo close-up, and learn how the service can make life easier for the busy family that doesn't want to miss any of the entertainment they love while they are out enjoying life."

"The purpose of 'Innoventions' is not to predict the future, but to look at emerging technologies and show people how they can result in a better life," said Larry Wilk, Vice President responsible for the Innoventions attraction at Disneyland. "TiVo is a natural fit in that it's service has had a dramatic affect on the way people watch TV and enjoy all types of digital entertainment. The Innoventions attraction is a great way for our guests to find out more about the TiVo service and how it can be relevant to their daily lives."

Very neat, Lora, thanks.

We added TiVo to our DirecTV several months back, due to the great reports I read here on the DIS from TiVo folks. I like it a lot. I watch no regular series on TV, none, but have several areas of interest. I just programmed those into the WISH list and I check the box about once a week and there are usually a few shows it has found and recorded during the week. I am able to zip through them in about 2/3's the real time, no commercials, etc. I love it.

I just hooked my one TiVo up to my wireless network and am replacing the older one with the new TiVo so that I can be lazy and watch my shows from whatever room I want to without having to leave the other room (If that makes sense).

One of my TiVo's has a DVD recorder, so I just bump shows off to a DVD-RW and watch on my3rd tv. I guess I could use VHS, but what fun is that?

Maybe I should go to that to see how to use the dang thing.
I had Girl Scouts tonight and did not want to miss the Extreme Makeover show. I was sitting there trying to figure it out when a 1st grader said "Here, let me show you how to do it". Mighty embarrasing.

I love my tivo!

My only complaint is, when we bought it 3 months ago, they were offering a 100 dollar rebate, which still has not found its way to us!
