RIM and TiVo?! What?!

I know there are a lot of people that will love this! RIM and TiVo have announced a partnership to bring us TiVo’s services…right to our BlackBerries!

So far it looks like Tivo users will be able to check what’s on and schedule recordings while away from the living room.

“TiVo subscribers will soon be able to wirelessly control their TiVo DVRs using a BlackBerry smartphone — anytime, anywhere — and that is a powerful example of how our respective technologies can complement each other to serve our mutual customers,” said Jim Balsillie, Co-CEO of Research In Motion. “As the BlackBerry smartphone continues its evolution as a modern lifestyle device, the importance of home entertainment integration will continue to grow and TiVo will be the key in providing consumers with greater flexibility in accessing television content.”

“TiVo continues to transform and revolutionize the way people control and watch television and broadband video,” said Tom Rogers, CEO and President of TiVo Inc. “RIM and TiVo share a commitment to great user experiences, which cause our products to become seamlessly integrated into the consumer’s lifestyle. We also share a vision for the future of mobile entertainment services and we look forward to a variety of future innovations as a result of this relationship.”

I don’t have TIVo, but something like this might peak my interest in getting it.Ti
