TiVo is working with Music Choice and RealNetworks to provide online music and videos to subscribers through the TiVo interface.This is Tivo's latest venture into turning that set-top-box in your living room into much more than a personal video recorder. That seems like a smart move as more and more companies *cough Apple* *cough Microsoft* are moving into the living room with devices designed to provide audio and video content.
The new partnerships will launch later this year, and will give TiVo users access to millions of songs and videos available on through the RealNetworks and Music Choice services. I'm guessing you'll have to purchase a paid subscription to Rhapsody or a similar service in order to access the content.
1. TiVo users will have access to a free 30-day trial when the Rhapsody integration launches later this year. Existing Rhapsody subscribers will be able to sign and access the service via the TiVo device.
