TiVo plans Java-based SDK Computers

My world just got better. TiVo announced plans to release a Java-based SDK, part of a larger project called Tahiti. Read the full story at CNet. There is even an RSS reader, so you will soon be able to read this blog on your TiVo. Ah, progress.

Tahiti is just an extention to what makes TiVo great, more than just an awesome PVR, it's TiVo's attitude towards the developer community that has allowed hackers to embrace TiVo and the ability to get inside the unit. This SDK just takes this support past the "turn a blind eye" level and right to the "fully-supported" level. Great news, indeed.

It's sad that TiVo isn't dominating the market as they should be. These cable companies are releasing their own highly inferior PVRs, but most people just don't know the difference.
