TiVo Adds Pandora to the Premiere

The music streaming service is available now, and for free.

If your parents taught you anything, it's that you shouldn't watch TV while you're eating dinner. Thanks to the addition of Pandora though, you can still utilize your home theater system while avoiding bad manners.

The streaming service is available now for the TiVo Premiere and TiVo Premiere XL, nicely rounding out the music streaming side of the system. Pandora fits in nicely with Live 365 and Rhapsody – already available to TiVo users.

So next time you're having a classy dinner party you can feel free to turn on the idiot box and scroll over to Pandora to put on some background music. Bonus points if you throw on a Paganini mix while yelling out "Ooh, thems my jams!"

TiVo Premiere Gets Another Performance Update

The promised Pandora music service is still nowhere to be found.

Letting your friends know about the burger you just ate is one of the many uses of Twitter. In a more practical sense, it's a fantastic way to get information. Thanks to tweets between a few frustrated customers and Tivo's VP of User Experience Margret Schmidt, we've now got a release date estimate for the next TiVo Premiere update.

In response to a customer complaining of the system freezing up, Margaret said "I suggest a reboot for now," adding that they "anticipate releasing an update in the next two weeks." That was on June 28th, after a similar answer on June 21st.

So it sounds like we can expect an update that will boost performance and increase stability of TiVo's new hardware sometime in mid July. As far as the Pandora service – which was promised at launch – there's no word yet.
