TiVo released a video of their HD start up animation online and I think it’s really creative. I haven’t seen this show up on my series 3 yet, so it makes me wonder if this is what people are seeing when they boot up the new HD TiVo? I like how they were able to use different TV shows in the animation.
As an added bonus, I also found an advertisement for TiVo and Sky+. The ad is very surreal, but I like it. I think that the ad was originally produced as a trailer in UK movie theaters in 2000, although I’m not 100% on that. After getting used to hearing the “TiVo Gets Me” tagline, it was interesting to see a more British version of “TiVo Understands Me” on this clip. Oddly enough, I think I prefer the British tagline over the American.

What can I say, it’s hard to beat Zatz to news on TiVo. Your East coast advantage gave you a three month head start on this one. I used to watch all of the YouTube clips that you would blog, but my work banned flash so now I miss entries like this.
