TiVo Updates Season Pass Online Tool

By Greg Tarr -- TWICE, 10/18/2010

ALVISO, CALIF. — TiVo said that it has added a Season Pass manager on the Tivo.com website, enabling subscribers to the DVR service to manage and transfer Season Pass recordings online.

The tool, which was said to have been requested by customers, joins TiVo’s online scheduling functionality for browsers and m.tivo.com for mobile devices, both of which allow customers to schedule recordings from anywhere they have access to the Internet.

TiVo has long enabled customers to remotely schedule recordings and set up Season Passes from Tivo.com, but the updated tool gives TiVo subscribers the ability to reprioritize or delete Season Passes online.

Customers can transfer a Season Pass recording from one broadband-connected TiVo box to another box on their TiVo account, making the addition of new TiVo DVRs or the transition from one TiVo DVR to another even easier, the company said.

To manage Season Pass recordings online, the TiVo box must be broadband connected and connected to the TiVo service. The Season Pass manager is available to all broadband-connected boxes, including TiVo Premiere, Series3, HD and Series2 DVRs.
