Gabbo, I mean, TiVo is coming!

TiVo, the time-shifting digital video recorder that became a household name in the US, will come to Australia in 2008.

For a small subscription fee plus the price of the hardware, Australians will be able to pause live high definition TV, fast-forward ads, record shows and series from any of the free-to-air digital TV channels, and access broadband content such as video-on-demand.

The company today announced a partnership with the Seven Network, which will build the digital platform behind the service.

Sweet.  I really wish Australia didn’t lag so far behind the US on these sort of things.  We need to get much better & cheaper broadband into this country very soon.
