TiVo Partners To Enter PC TV Tuner Market

According to Information Week, Nero, a maker of DVD-burning software, has agreed to develop software that will bring TiVo's popular digital video recording software and program guide to the PC, a move that would create a competitor toMicrosoft's Windows Media Center.

"Under the deal, Nero would develop software that would provide a PC-based DVR that could be connected to a digital TV. Computer manufacturers offer PCs with TV tuners that can be connected to TV services.

The deal also holds the promise of getting TiVo technology to an international market. Nero has offices in Germany, Japan, and China, as well as the United States. The companies did not release a timetable for the software release, or pricing."
