That is not all. They also include several computer games.

Since the partnership with Yahoo (above) was announced, they also added a couple more services.

1. the daily Rocket Boom vlog broadcast hosted by Amanda Congden, and
2. optional ability to subscribe to commercials on topics that interest you

They do not let you rate individual commercials yet. I have a hunch that will not be far behind.

By the end of this decade, people will have a pretty good idea who the Cleo winner for the year is going to be, as soon as it airs - if TiVo ever adds this capability.

Anyway, if you have been wondering, what has TiVo done lately - now you know!

By the way, still no new details on the upcoming TiVo Series 3. Hopefully, it will be out in time for TiVo to start selling them by Black Friday. If they do, they are probably a shoe-in to sell a lot of machines during the Christmas season in 2006.
