After just having accidently (?) leaked their possible new partnership with Blockbuster, TiVo seems to have sprung another leak — this time it’s a new feature called Guru Guides. Zatz Not Funny has posted a screenshot of the updated TiVo Privacy Policy and there is mention of something called “Guru Guides”.

Just like with the Blockbuster leak, this is all speculation, but maybe this has something to do with Celebrity or Expert Recommendations. Shows could be recommended by an expert or guru and recorded on your TiVo. TiVo Community has a discussion going on about a new page on the TiVo site about Expert Picks which sounds like the same thing.

While there is not much information and these are all just leaks — although I don’t think they are accidental leaks on TiVo’s part — it’s good to see TiVo trying out new things and adding new features. Seems like the Echostar victory might have given them a second wind.
