TiVo-Powered Smart TVs: A Fresh Approach

 

Once a byword for DVR, TiVo is back in a new form, as a smart TV player. Partnering with Sharp, TiVo is to start with a TiVo OS-equipped 55-inch 4K QLED television to be launched in February 2025. While most existent smart platforms take sides, waving the banner of one streamer over the other, TiVo stays in the middle of it all. 

Unlike Roku or Fire TV whose home interfaces are highly branded for their respective services, TiVo OS had a significant focus on how to bring content discovery across these platforms. Whether it’s Netflix, live TV or the streaming apps TiVo’s suggestions are there to help filter through the noise. This approach may be favourable among users who are perturbed by the overcrowded interfaces that most modern smart TVs possess.
