CES DVR roundup

It's funny being a video technology blogger. most of the year, you find yourself scraping the web, looking for stories your readers will find interesting. Then CES happens. I'm drowning in a sea of press releases, product demos, and tech announcements.

As could have been easily predicted, there's a bunch of Digital Video Recorder(DVR) stuff coming out of the trade show this year. I thought I would round up some of the more important announcements in the world of digital time-shifting.

TiVo finds a home at Comcast. The DVR pioneer has had a tough go since breaking up with Directv. This deal has to be good for them.

Dish Network announces DishDVR advantage. The satellite provider is taking the guesswork out of the DVR, by offering them first party, and not hiding them in the bill, or charging extra for them. Dish Network is also offering a complementary High Definition DVR to new subscribers.

Avid offers HD DVR software for the PC. Pinnacle PCTV To Go offers users the chance to place and time shift their HD content on their home computer.

Diego offers DVR direct to the consumer. The company originally supplied it's Moxi set-top technology exclusively to cable providers. Giving this stuff direct to consumers had to make the big content providers a bit nervous.

Sling Media announces Sling Catcher. Sling Catcher is actually technology that will be used in two new products. Sling Projector allows you to take your media, as well as all other functions of a standard PC to your living room set, while Sling Player lets you watch your TV on someone else's set.
