TiVo Releases Online Season Pass Manager

TiVo has rolled out its Online Season Pass Manager, which allows subscribers to transfer season pass subscriptions between their various TiVo boxes, as well as adding new passes and deleting old ones. This tool enhances TiVo’s already robust Web features, allowing TiVo customers to easily manage and transfer their Season Pass recordings online. This new feature joins TiVo’s online scheduling functionality on tivo.com for browsers and m.tivo.com for mobile devices, both of which allow users to schedule recordings from anywhere they have access to the Internet. The new TiVo Online Season Pass Manager is currently available at tivo.com/spm. [Ubergizmo]
