MUMBAI: Tivo, which creates television services for digital video recorders (DVRs), has announced the launch of the Tivo HD XL Digital Video Recorder. Available online, the Tivo HD XL box offers more recording capacity than any other DVR available, be it satellite or cable.

Having 150 hours of high definition television recording capacity, the HD XL has enough space to appease even the most devoted entertainment fans. The Tivo HD XL is also THX Certified to ensure it delivers sound and video playback in one's home theater.

Tivo director of product platforms Andrew Morrison says, "With so much HD content now available, we felt it was vital to offer consumers an easy way to record as much television programming as they'd like to watch at a later time without ever having to worry about capacity. What is great about the XL is it gives content lovers plenty of room for all the
programming they love, saving them from having to decide if they need to prematurely delete a favorite movie or a big game memory when space gets tight. Satellite or cable DVRs simply can't match it."

On top of increased recording capacity, the TiVo HD XL DVR offers broadband features. Users can download thousands of movies and TV shows directly to the TV, browse and watch endless YouTube videos, listen to thousands of
songs from Rhapsody, or view hundreds of music videos from Music Choice.

Features exclusive to TiVo HD XL include the 150 hours of HD recording space, THX certification, a Series3 premium backlit remote control and an included HDMI cable.

Similar to Tivo HD, dual tuners allow subscribers to record two different shows in HD at the same time, while watching a third pre-recorded show. The Tivo HD XL is designed to fit seamlessly into the most discerning home theater systems, compatible with HD digital cable, analogue cable and over-the-air digital HD (ATSC).
As with the Tivo HD, the Tivo HD XL box delivers high definition entertainment, allowing the consumer to experience Tico's acclaimed service features, such as Season Pass recordings, Universal Swivel Search and Wishlist searches, in high definition images. Video analysis and performance testing by THX ensures that content will always record and playback
