TiVo unveils massive 26,000-hour ‘Mega’ DVR

TiVo has recently unveiled its biggest product thus far --- the TiVo 'Mega' DVR, which has the capacity to record three years' worth of video.

Announcing the new TiVo Mega DVR, TiVo said that the 24-terabyte server-like appliance is capable of recording more than 26,000 hours of SD TV shows, or 4,000 hours of HD content before requiring any deletion of content.

With the rack-mountable Mega DVR essentially being a dream appliance for DVR hoarders, TiVo claims that the capacity of the Mega DVR is over 12-fold more than the storage available on cable or satellite DVRs. As such, The Mega DVR dwarfs the 3,000 hours of SD, or 450 hours of HD recording which is currently offered by the company's premium Roamio Pro DVR.

In addition, the TiVo Mega DVR also features swappable drives to ensure the protection of the users' data against any kind of loss. The appliance also has six tuners to facilitate users in recording multiple programs simultaneously; and it even streams live and recorded TV programs to smartphones and tablets, with offline playback as an option.

About the massive Mega DVR, which will likely be priced at $5,000 when it hits the markets in 2015 first-quarter, TiVo's CMO Ira Bahr said: "Size matters. People hate being forced to delete cool stuff from their DVR before they want to. Now, with TiVo Mega they don't have to."
