Hell freezes over, new DirecTV HD TiVo on the way

Filed under: ,

HR10-250

We had to pinch ourselves and check to see if it was April 1st, because after three years of hearing TiVo fans complain that DirecTV killed off the HD DirecTV TiVo on its move to MPEG4, the satellite company has finally listened. TiVo and DirecTV announced today that sometime during the second half of 2009, a new HD DirecTV TiVo will be available and will include “the latest TiVo and DirecTV features and services” — there is however no word if this will include favorites such as TiVoToGo or Multi-Room veiwing. Like the previous TiVo models made specifically to work with DirecTV, it will be sold and marketed through DirecTV — at a yet to be announced price — and as we’ve seen in other recent TiVo deals, DirecTV will continue to market and support its own DVR as a “primary offering” which is just fine with us, just so long as we have a choice in the matter, we’re cool.

Sony Ericsson says XPERIA X1 still on track to ship in Q4

Filed under:

Rumors of the XPERIA X1 being delayed to 2009 have been floating around forever, and the chatter’s only gotten louder at IFA — to the point where Sony Ericsson’s been forced into damage-control mode for a second time, telling Reuters that “there is absolutely no delay” and that the company’s first WinMo phone is “on target” to “roll out in Q4.” That’s not quite the “second half of 2008″ SE’s been saying since the X1 was announced, but it’s still in the window — and given the half-baked nature of the devices we got to play with at IFA, we’d say taking a little extra time to get things right isn’t the worst idea in the world, even it means missing that rumored October Vodafone release date.
