Tivo patent question (wishlists)
Tivo has a feature where the user adds a show/actor/director etc to a list and then Tivo records future shows that relate to the above. Is this a Tivo patent in the UK?
The reason I ask is because there is a PVR called 3view which allows a user to add the name of a show to a list and it will then record all future series of that show.
Windows Media Center has done this for many years so no, TiVo won't have a patent on this.
That doesn't necessarily mean TiVo don't have a patent. TiVo probably have several patents in this area, but it could only be decided in court whether any particular product infringes.
