TiVo is a digital video recorder (DVR) that allows users to record television shows and movies for later viewing. It was first introduced in 1999 and revolutionized how people watch TV by enabling them to pause, rewind, and fast-forward through live broadcasts. Users can schedule recordings and create a library of their favorite programs. In addition to recording, TiVo offers features like streaming services and on-demand content, allowing users to access a wide range of entertainment options. The device connects to the internet, making it easy to browse and discover new shows, enhancing the overall viewing experience.
