From CNET: TiVo, once synonymous with being able to record TV and watch it later, is launching TiVo OS in the US, aiming to be an alternative interface to Roku OS, Google TV and brand-specific TV operating systems. It demoed the new system at the CES 2025 trade show in Las Vegas.
The core intent is an easy-to-navigate way to find shows and movies you want to watch. TiVo says the new OS will offer "advanced search and recommendation capabilities."
The interface is what TiVo calls "content first," showing you shows and movies you might want to watch while being agnostic with how you view said content. For instance, if a show is available on multiple services, it will show you each option. Other TV operating systems can, sometimes, prioritize their streaming service over others.
As you'd hope, TiVo OS has a wide suite of streaming services available, including Netflix, Disney Plus, etc. During the demo, TiVo showed us the OS on a new Sharp TV (more info on that below). The interface seemed closest to Google TV, with shows and movies taking the forefront rather than channels and services like Roku.
