TiVo today announced that TiVo subscribers can now watch video content from the Web directly on their television sets. Through an updated version of TiVo’s Desktop Plus PC software, users can now discover and enjoy a broad range of Web entertainment available directly from their TV.
The simple application, which uses the popular Season Pass(TM) functionality on the TiVo service, continues to deliver on TiVo’s pledge to offer consumers an easy way to search, discover and enjoy the broad range of entertainment no matter what the source.

Starting today, TiVo users can subscribe to and watch a broad range of
video content available through Real Simple Syndication (”RSS”) feeds,
including everything from network nightly newscasts and The Sesame Street
Podcast to Daily Headlines from MTV News and College Humor from CHTV. The
application also gives consumers access to niche interest and hobbyist
videos covering areas far more specialized than cable and satellite
channels.

The availability of the web video comes on the heels of last week’s
announcement that TiVo subscribers will be able to access YouTube(TM)
videos directly on the TV via a TiVo DVR later this year. Upon launch of
the TiVo-YouTube service, TiVo users will be able to search, browse and
watch these videos directly on their television sets.
