Maybe this is the largest TiVo ever?

In our last installment here at WKBlog.com, we wrote about the “largest TiVo ever” in the physical size category. Today, I have a different contender for the badge of “largest TiVo ever” in the category of hours of space.

This is a screenshot of a Dual Tuner TiVo model TCD649080 upgraded internally to two terabytes. How do you put two terabyte drives in this unit? You need our DT TiVo upgrade bracket, and two of our SATA to IDE converters. Or, you can now buy this unit ready to go, from our site:

Customer Shipment

Largest TiVo Ever?

That’s what you’d think, anyway. This monster arrived via Fedex Overnight service – which must have cost a small fortune.

While we stress packing your TiVo safely when shipping it, this is really overkill. Alas, there was but one regular-sized TiVo in the massive box.

We’ve put a WeaKnees shipping box on top for size-comparison purposes.

TiVo Stepping up the Advertising at CES

TiVo hasn’t had a booth on the floor at CES yet, but they’ve consistently had a meeting room in the North Hall. Often meeting rooms are only for pre-arranged meetings, but TiVo uses their space as a demonstration area open to everyone.

The problem is, it’s a little hard to get the crowds who are lugging their freebies around the main halls all day to come up to the meeting room – if they even know that TiVo has one.

So this year, for the first time we’ve seen, TiVo has taken to advertising their location, both outside the hall in a big canvas ad:

Their other method of attracting attention was definitely a bit more unusual. They sent a team of “surfers” through the halls complete with TiVo skimboards and tattoos. I didn’t manage to get a shot of the topless men, but here are the women from the team:

Maybe they were actually destined for the conference next door?

Roxio Toast 10 Adds Mac2TiVo Support

Mac and TiVo users have been using Roxio Toast for years to transfer files from the TiVo to their Macs. But now, this new version of Toast adds a feature called Mac2TiVo, which is similar to what has been called TiVoToComeBack in the PC world. Basically, it lets you move content to your TiVo – in many cases without conversion. It’ll also stream many types of content, so your content can play instantly.

In addition, as in previous versions, this supports burning to DVD and CD, and conversion for iPod and iPhone. This is really the easiest way to pull content off your TiVo and stick it on your iPod/iPhone for later watching.

You can order Toast 10 from Amazon for $85, currently.
