TiVo Moves Into China
Edging one step closer today to world domination, TiVo has announced that they will now be selling TiVo units in China. Partnering with a company called PacificNet they would sell the TiVo DVR and accompanying services through their iMobile subsidiary. TiVo devices would be available in major cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
It’s not clear exactly what services will be available for TiVo devices in China. I’m sure they will get some kind of a channel guide with updates, but will they have access to download videos similar to Amazon Unbox? Or will they have access to the TiVo To Go Software?
Plans may not be clear at this point, but this expansion is a step in the right direction. With the competition that TiVo faces from sub par Cable Company DVR devices here in the US, going into other countries where there is not much competition is a huge growth area for TiVo. Plus, they have the opportunity to establish themselves as the defacto standard for DVRs before the competition can really take hold.
