(reg. req.): The Tivo controversy is cropping up again: Hollywood studios and the NFL are seeking to block TiVo from expanding its service so that users could watch copies of shows and movies on devices outside their homes.
TiVo wants to make copies more portable, in stages. Sometime this fall, the company plans to roll out a system that will allow programs to be transferred from the TiVo box to a computer via a small device attached to the PC. And then it could be transferred to other portable devices.
Of course, the content companies don’t like this and have filed objections with FCC…they think the transferring and copying would get out of hand…
