"Californian company TiVo plans to make life even easier for couch potatoes. The company already sells Personal Video Recorders (PVR), which can record hundreds of hours of TV and learn what programmes a person most likes in order to record future episodes. Patents filed in the US show that TiVo plans to take personalised television even further. The company is working on a PVR that will recognise one of several individual users, and respond to their personal preferences."
