TiVo: Now Playing Home Movies

TiVo Home Movies scaled.jpgAs of this week, you can officially spam all of your families and friends' TiVo-connected television sets with your homebrew videos. TiVo has launched its home movie sharing service, allowing you to send "video montages" straight to any broadband-connected TiVo series 2 or 3 boxes.

There's a catch. To send a video, you must sign up with the One True Media service. Upload your videos and photos to the site, then use the editing tools to create your montage. You receive your own TiVo channel code, then invite peeps to subscribe to your channel. Your friends can even Season-Pass your channel, so your videos automatically end up in their Now Playing list.

The service starts at $4 per month or $40 a year, though if you sign up now, you can join the beta and share five videos for free (until April 30).
