TiVo, the creator of television services for digital video recorders (DVRs), has announced that it has surpassed the one million subscription milestone. It expects surging momentum to result in the best holiday season in the company's history.

Originally offered to consumers in a single set-top box, TiVo is now available in a dozen products manufactured by more than eight leading consumer electronic companies. Toshiba and Pioneer have paired TiVo with DVD, and leading satellite company DirecTV offers four different integrated tuners with TiVo.

TiVo has stated that thanks to the increased growth of both the stand-alone subscriptions and growth with DirecTV, their subscription has reached this milestone ahead of schedule. TiVo is giving US shoppers a lot of choice in models, pricing and service offerings, this holiday season.

Consumers can choose from a wide array of products with TiVo on board, including new DVD products from Toshiba and Pioneer and new TiVo integrated products from DirecTV.

An official release informs that in addition to a lot of new TiVo products this holiday season, consumers will find that they can get more entertainment fun than ever out of the TiVo Series2. This simple upgrade to the Home Media Option gives expanded capabilities like scheduling recordings on the Internet or viewing family photos on the television.

TiVo also claims to be available at more US retailers this holiday season than ever before. TiVo retail partners include Best Buy, Circuit City, Tweeter, Good Guys, Ultimate Electronics and Amazon.com. TiVo Series2 can also be purchased directly at www.tivo.com.

TiVo was founded in 1997 with the mission to dramatically improve consumers' television viewing experiences.
