As people have grown more comfortable with web based programs they have started asking Can you get TiVo online? The answer now is yes. TiVo Inc. announced a new service today, TiVo Online, which allows users to find what they want to watch from their cable package and streaming services from their PC.

“The tools available today to find what viewers most want to watch across all sources of programs are not comprehensive, not personalized, or are difficult to use. There just isn’t a great way to hone in on exactly what you care about and are most interested in – until now with TiVo Online,” said Tom Rogers, TiVo’s President and CEO. “TiVo Online is the service you can rely on to guide you right to what you want from cable and video on demand, streaming services and web videos and opens the renown value of TiVo’s search to find and connect straight to your favorite content in a simple, easy to use fashion. TiVo has always been the best way to watch TV, but now, TiVo Online becomes the trusted source for doing just that, and it’s free and easily accessible to anyone.”
