TiVo And One True Media Offer Consumers Easy New Way To Share Home Movies With Friends And Family Across The Country, Right To Their TiVo Boxes

March 29, 2007

Beginning today, there is a revolutionary new way to instantly share memorable moments and milestones in your life with friends and family across the country: by sending them home movies or photo montages directly to their TV sets. No more mailing of DVDs or tapes, nor mass postings on the Web for the world to view, instead just automatic electronic delivery to the living rooms of friends and family. Going beyond the digital picture frame, TiVo (NASDAQ: TIVO), the creator of and a leader in television services for digital video recorders (DVRs), and One True Media, a web-based service for creating and sharing high-quality video montages, are offering consumers the ability to easily share personal video content– incorporating their own digital videos and photos right to the TV. Here's how it works: Consumers visit One True Media (www.onetruemedia.com) to create a digital video montage, complete with soundtrack, by uploading their videos and photos and taking advantage of the site's simple editing tools. To share the montage, One True Media customers create their own personal channel with TiVo, and then invite TiVo subscribers of their choosing to "subscribe” to the channel at no additional cost. TiVo users can then select a TiVo Season PassTM recording that automatically adds the sender's latest videos to the viewer's "Now Playing” list — the same location where they access all of their favorite television recordings. These easy-to-create-and-share video montages are ideally suited to all kinds of occasions: sharing a baby's first steps or child's birthday party; creating a tribute to Mom, Dad or grandparents; graduation; sharing post-game sports highlights with the team; or chronicling your summer vacation. Whatever the subject matter, TiVo Home Movie Sharing transforms everyday moments and important events into a personal TV show to be shared and enjoyed just like your favorite shows. "TiVo continues to put convenience and control into the hands of consumers and we are pleased to offer our subscribers yet another easy-to-use, exclusive feature that brings a very personal touch to their TiVo experience,” said Katie Ho, Vice President of Consumer Marketing at TiVo. "Rather than posting on public sites or huddling around a computer screen, people can now enjoy these special and personal moments on the best screen in the house – in the living room.” "One True Media has given people an exciting and fun way to make impressive video montages; now we're offering an ultra simple way for their friends and family to watch them on a big screen – just like they would watch '24' or 'American Idol,'” said Mark Moore, CEO, One True Media. "We're thrilled that this relationship allows our users to benefit even more from this compelling new way to share life's greatest moments.” This new home movie sharing feature is accessible at no additional cost to the viewer. The ability to receive and view these videos on the television are available to 1.5 million broadband-ready TiVo Series2(TM) and TiVo Series3(TM) subscribers.
