Ever wondered how the new digital storage devices will replace your treasured VHS collection? The answer could be the TiVo Mega with its 24 terabytes on storage – equivalent to 26,000 hours of TV.
The whole home device has six tuners – well, you need to be able to fill up all 24TB – and the ability to stream live and recorded TV to smart phones and tablets.
“Size matters. People hate being forced to delete cool stuff from their DVR before they want to or finding a TV show they had recorded is now gone. Now, with TiVo Mega they can always know their show or movie is still there to watch later,” said TiVo CMI Ira Bahr. “TiVo Mega offers more than 12 times the storage of any cable or satellite DVR.”
TiVo Mega is not as stylish as its smaller cousins. This TiVo is rack mounted, and if you’ve got the rack, the chances are you have the $5,000 (€3,876) to buy the unit in the first place.
It will be available at retail in the US from early 2015.
