As you're probably aware, TiVo recently launched an HME application to enable Domino's ordering from your TV, and Dave Zatz over at Zatz Not Funny created a video of the process. And now there is a promo video for the feature:
Via TiVo Blog.

Dave Zatz of Zatz Not Funny took the hit and ordered a pizza from Domino's via the new TiVo HME application. And he kindly captured the experience on video and posted it to YouTube:
I'd still like to see this expanded to cover local places. I checked it out as well, but the two Domino's locations it offered me were pick-up only, I'm outside ( Read more... )

It seems Australian TiVo boxes aren't the only ones to get pizza ordering. After I posted about that I'd had a few tips that it was also coming to US TiVo units as well, so I asked TiVo about it and they confirmed it, but under embargo until now. Actually, 'now' is 08:30 Eastern when the embargo lifts and this scheduled post should be visible, ( Read more... )

The good news is it sounds like TiVo is finally embracing HME and encouraging developers, the bad news is this is TiVo Australia. As regular readers are likely aware, I've repeatedly expressed frustration with the way TiVo has handled HME in the US. I'm happy to see TiVo Australia encouraging HME developers, and I wonder if that signals any ( Read more... )

Coming just two months after the release of 2.5.3, Galleon 2.5.4 was released Tuesday. According to the release notes: This version includes the following ( Read more... )

Since the TiVo 9.4 update enabled YouTube support a few weeks ago, I've been hoping that the ability to stream video would be extended to HME. Since the entire YouTube interface on TiVo is implemented with HME, using the HME toolkit internal to TiVo (probably with features first implemented for the OCAP development work), it makes sense that it ( Read more... )

I received a tip from Harmonium's creator, Charles Perry, including a press release (below). Harmonium looks like a fairly nice music player, and it is nice to see some new HME working being done these days, despite the dearth of support from TiVo. It supports HD display on the TiVo Series3 and TiVo HD with an HD UI on those systems, as well as ( Read more... )

The most creative active developer for TiVo's Home Media Engine (HME), PlayTeeVee, looks like they'll be shutting down their service soon, according to a post in their blog. That's a damn shame, and somewhat upsetting ( Read more... )

In the past one of the differences between TiVo units in the US and the TGC (TiVo Greater China) units sold in Taiwan is that the latter did not support HME (Home Media Engine). But this series of photos just uploaded to Flickr indicates HME support has been added. I don't know if this is brand new, or if it has been there for a while and this ( Read more... )

The leaders in TiVo gaming, PlayTeeVee, have just added a new channel to their TiVo HME application. It is 'Under Construction', but according to their blog it will soon be home to their first multi-player game for TiVo. First they'll be running a beta, so keep an eye on their blog if you want to be first to try it out. What kind of game do you ( Read more... )
