New Gadgets I: TiVo Premiere

August 9th, 2010, 9:41pm by Jake

I’ve gone through a number of new gadgets lately, and I need to catch up on these reviews. I’ll start off with an easy one, the TiVo Premiere. Bottom line: it’s exceptionally adequate. Does everything it’s supposed, has a little bit of flashiness. Using TiVo sharing is fun & has come in handy. But ultimately, it seems like a modest improvement on the TiVo HD. Everything works well, internet video capabilities are improved, but they desperately need that keyboard remote to take advantage of it. Tough to get excited about, but other than some lagginess, no real complaints.

    For most things, it’s faster. But when switching in or out of Live TV mode there’s a 1-3 second delay, probably related to now having a live video feed while browsing the TiVo menus.
