TiVo at the forefront of 3D TV

Hybrid Television Services (ANZ) Pty Limited, the creator of CASPA^TM On-Demand and the exclusive licensee of TiVo® products in Australia and New Zealand has announced that TiVo customers will be at the forefront of the 3D television revolution.

TiVo is the first PVR with the ability to time shift any free-to-air 3D broadcasts and their customers will get more from their 3D experience with TiVo “trick play” functionality. The CASPA on-demand service available on the TiVo device will also deliver broadband 3D content direct to the TV in coming weeks.

TiVo owners will have the ability to pause the 3D broadcast, so they never miss a moment of the action. They will also have the ability to play back time shifted World Cup Soccer games. The 3D experience is further heightened as customers can watch in slow motion and jump back 30 seconds at a touch of a button to see the play in 3D over and over again.

Further, TiVo can record 3D broadcasts and wait patiently for the 3D television to be purchased, installed and ready to enjoy the 3D content previously recorded on the TiVo.

Expected from June, TiVo customers will be able to download 3D content and watch it with their 3D television straight from their TiVo. Initially content will include movie trailers and short animations, but it will grow to include movies and documentaries shot in 3D.
