But times have changed, as streaming services have become a commonplace and virtually all traditional TV broadcasters have started offering their shows through one of the many streaming providers.
According to Cord Cutters, TiVo has removed all its hardware from its website - even all references to such devices.
TiVo's fortunes have dwindled as cable TV subscriber figures have dropped across the United States. Company's final physical device was TiVo Edge, launched back in 2021 that merged streaming services and live TV recording into one device.
Virtually all modern TVs have some sort of app support built-in with them, so, external device like TiVo apparently seemed like a hassle for most potential consumers.
And that is also the very route TiVo, as a company, is taking, as it focuses on selling its own operating system for TV manufacturers. The very same OS was at the core of the company's own hardware products, too. Company has made such deals already with HiSense and TCL in the U.S.
Original TiVo was launched back in 1999, so the company's DVR devices had a good, 26-year run.
