Pioneer adds TiVo to DVD recorders

Pioneer Electronics is hoping to raise the profile of digital video recording services by adding TiVo's service to its line of DVD recorders.
The Long Beach, Calif.-based electronics arm of Tokyo's Pioneer announced Wednesday two new DVD recorders that incorporate TiVo's digital video recorder (DVR) service. The devices will be available in the fall and will allow consumers to pause TV programs and schedule recording onto a hard drive as well as record shows onto DVD-R (DVD-recordable) and DVD-RW (DVD-rewritable) discs.

The drives are among the first from a major manufacturer to offer DVR- and DVD-recording capabilities and are expected to boost consumer interest in digital video recording. DVR services, though popular among subscribers, have not seen the success that many expected early on. Now, however, the service is beginning to catch on with consumers. DVD recorders are one of the more popular consumer electronics devices in the market, and as prices come down, demand is expected to grow.
