Are you ready for the BIG DAY? The WEDDING OF THE YEAR! OF THE CENTURY? OF THE MILLENIUM!?! Okay, all joking aside the people of the world really are waiting with bated breath for the marriage of Prince William to Kate Middleton this Friday April 29, 2011 at 06:00am EDT. But with so much coverage that's going to be available... what to do? What to do? Well that's where TiVO comes in. They've gone ahead and introduced an exclusive "Royal Wedding" Collection as part of its TiVo Collections feature. This collection delivers all of the content available surrounding the Royal Wedding available through a TiVo subscriber's cable lineup or on demand from Web partners such as Amazon Instant Video, Netflix or BLOCKBUSTER.
"TiVo users can tune into the 'Royal Wedding' Collection to record and enjoy the best of traditional TV and the Web throughout the entire week leading up to the ceremony. This unique feature allows for an ideal viewing experience -- one that goes beyond simply watching the ceremony live or recording it on a generic DVR as fans can easily search for everything from web videos about the event to recent wedding specials, all packaged seamlessly in TiVo's stunning user interface," said Tara Maitra, Senior Vice President, GM, Content and Media Sales of TiVo. "In short, fans don't have to keep jumping from TV to computer and back again trying to search for and watch the video they want; TiVo's solved that royal headache for them."
Here are some ideas for exploring the Royal Wedding Collection leading up to Friday's festivities:
