PVRblog reported that TiVo is soliciting customer opinions before completing the feature set of the TiVoToGo system that was previewed at the Consumer Electronics Show in January. The PVRblog article contains a pointer to the survey, which I urge all TiVo users to complete. But, the article also has some interesting reader comment attached to it, including things like.

• MPEG formats that would cause some users to buy additional DVRs instead of network-aware DVD players, and
• PC-based video editing features and why support for them would be important to some TiVo customers.

I could see doing my own highlight DVD from sports event programming like the Tour de France. I'd like to be able to talk about tactics in graphics and/or in voiceovers that occur during live action, and burn the resulting program to DVD. (I can see my wife rolling her eyes at this one.)

This could also revolutionize certain types of video-based training by allowing people to repurpose snippets of video without having to resort to purchasing much more expensive editing workstations. Of course, the examples I gave here would only be appropriate for non-commercial, personal use. Otherwise, you'd end up spending a lot of time and money getting clearance for the video clips employed in this fashion.

Anyway, the survey opened my eyes to some things that would make me want to own a Series2 TiVo and perhaps upgrade my computer-based video editing capabilities.
