TiVo Adds Nova, Vega Radio Streams

If you don’t fancy paying for movie downloads, TiVo has just expanded its service with an entirely free option: radio podcasts from the Nova and Vega networks.

From Monday, TiVo owners will be able to access breakfast and drive-time podcasts from each of the five Nova and two Vega stations. The broadcasts will be streamed live, and will apparently consume between 1MB and 30MB, depending on length. That’s not too heavy an imposition on your downloads caps, though Internode and iPrimuscustomers will be able to feel smug as TiVo content doesn’t count as part of their monthly totals in any case. All in all, this seems a nice extra add-on for TiVo users, albeit nothing that isn’t already available through other channels.
