Gemstar-TV Guide International will begin offering visitors to the TV Guide Web site the ability to program their TiVo schedule. The scheduling feature will be made available some time in early 2007,
although a firm date hasn't been set. The move comes as
TV Guide struggles to transition from its old "digest" format to a new full-sized magazine. Likewise, the online portal is trying to
reinvent itself for a digital age where viewers control more and more of the viewing experience, including time-shifting technology. The TiVo partnership is an important element of this reinvention.
