TiVo has announced a new feature that allow TiVo owners better manage their statements of season on the web and across devices.

TiVo was truly at the forefront of the movement TV connected, but in recent years, took players as a little newer as Apple TV Roku, new Google TV and next Boxee Box further behind the spotlight.

TiVo is a push to increase its connected TV options and remind users what the venerable DVR is capable of faire.Le last month, TiVo has announced that first TiVo users will soon have access to more than Hulu. What is cool about today of the announcement is actually apply to all the connected to TiVo boxes, including the series 2, series 3 HD TiVo broadband network and first.

For years, TiVo has enabled users to schedule recordings remotely and established a TiVo Season Pass to tivo.com.For owners of multiple boxes of TiVo, you could even choose what TiVo box gets a record or season pass.

The new online season pass Manager has this feature long time to the next level.

Not only users will create records and returns season, but they can also review a season pass, delete a season pass or transfer device to another season pass s .Laissez say that I find "I usually watch 30 Rock before bed but that the show is currently on my TiVo.Maintenant lounge I can reassign area recorded the show on the web, instead of having to do so since the device of."

The functionality is accessible both tivo.com and mobile - m.tivo.com PNG.

If we had one wish, it would be that TiVo implement some kind of integrated into SlingBox service units TiVo or TiVo Premiere.indique you can use TiVo with your existing SlingBox or use the software on your LAN to transfer to your Mac or PC, but a web interface, even if it was the local network would be really killer.

Do you still use TiVo or have you moved to other devices?
