TiVo to Get a UI Makeover

The television recording god, TiVo, is said to be getting a fancy new redesign sometime in the near future, which will put more content and ads to the main page. Rumor has it that the main menu will feature thumbnail pics of your recently watched shows, your favorites, and offer suggestions. It will also be much easier to navigate your way around — I think this seals the deal that I need to get my mom onto TiVo — and offers similar functionality as Apple TV by giving you the option to purchase content. No word just yet on when this new interface will take effect.
