CBS Television & TiVo Make History With First-Ever Exclusive Debut of New Fall Show on TiVo Before Its Network Premiere
TiVo Subscribers to be First in Nation to Record New CBS Fall Show 'The
Class' Up to a Week Before Its Premiere & Receive Special Sneak Previews of
Highly Anticipated New Shows 'Jericho,' 'Smith' and 'Shark'
ALVISO, Calif. and NEW YORK, Sept. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CBS
Television today announced plans to make TV history by partnering with TiVo
Inc. (Nasdaq: TIVO), the creator of and the leader in television services
for digital video recorders (DVR), to launch a new Fall show in an entirely
original way -- not via a network premiere, a DVD or the Internet, but on
the TiVo(R) service, which continues to revolutionize how America watches
television. Through this pioneering partnership, TiVo subscribers will be
the first in the nation to see the hot comedy CBS show "The Class" as early
as a full week before its premiere on live TV.
In this innovative launch developed jointly by TiVo and CBS, TiVo
subscribers will have an unparalleled opportunity to experience CBS fall
line-up exclusives. In addition to the opportunity to watch The Class up to
1 week before its network premiere on September 18th, TiVo subscribers will
be able to view sneak preview clips and receive exclusive footage and
information on three more of CBS's most eagerly anticipated new shows:
Jericho starring Skeet Ulrich and Gerald McRaney, Smith starring Ray Liotta
and Virginia Madsen, and Shark starring James Woods and Jeri Ryan. With
just one click of the remote, TiVo subscribers will be able to record the
premieres of all four shows. This will mark the first time that any group
of network shows have ever been bundled together and offered jointly for
the ultimate in viewer convenience. Following the premieres, subscribers
can utilize the popular Season Pass(TM) recordings feature which once set,
automatically records all shows viewers choose for an entire season without
them ever having to give a second thought to when they air.
Tom Rogers, TiVo's CEO said, "We're thrilled to be able to introduce
this ground-breaking innovation to the industry while at the same time
providing our subscribers with exclusives that no else can match. At the
core of this fresh and forward-thinking campaign is the television
industry's recognition of the tremendous influence that our 4.4 million
TiVo subscribers can generate as some of the smartest and savviest TV
viewers around."
"CBS's partnership with TiVo is a creative new way to use DVR
technology to help drive television network viewing," said George
Schweitzer, President of CBS Marketing Group. "Our goal is to introduce our
fresh new comedy The Class about a group of 20-somethings who met in the
3rd grade and whose lives become bound together to a broad, diversified,
receptive audience that has the ability to start trends and generate buzz,
which is exactly what TiVo offers."
This dynamic new partnership between TiVo and CBS was developed in
conjunction with Initiative Media as part of a broad agency-wide
relationship with the InterPublic Group of Companies launched in April
2006.

demand for higher playback quality rises," said Dr. Michael Rudd, chief of
AV architecture at THX Ltd. "With THX certification, the integrity of HD
content won't be compromised. Our collaboration with TiVo has resulted in a
product that promises to capture, store and playback HDTV programs with the
detail and clarity that is true to the original broadcast."
"We are excited to bring the TiVo Series3 HD box to the lineup of HES
suppliers," said Jim Ristow, Director of Home Entertainment Source (HES).

HELP I want to get a TivoHD But my local cable company RTC here in laplace LA will not and does not have cablecards.. I thoght there was a FCCC rule saying that there has to be CC avbl. when ever a customer asks??? Any help would be helpful
TY!!!!!
TY!!!!!
There are exceptions for the smaller cable companies .
I was with Qwest's cable TV service and they don't do cablecards either. They aren't really 'cable' though in the traditional sense.
I switched to Cox and I couldn't be happier with the Pair of S3s adorning my entertainment center.
If you can get off-air where your are at and your cable co has a decent analog lineup you can do analog cable + off-air for the HD locals.
One of my S3s has cablecards
One has analog cable + Off air.
One I setup for my mother is 100% off-air.

Can the S3 pick up the digital OTA signal and then feed it to an older analog tv to view?
I realize this won't be HD but it will still be a clear/sharper picture than the OTA would be on the analog tv if directly sent from the antenna. Right?? Or am I wrong??
