In case your TiVo -loving heart was crushed last week after we found that its new Premiere Q DVR would only be offered by cable companies with out plans for retail sales, let us put the pieces back together. Zatz Not Funny has dug up an FCC filing dated June 7th indicating TiVo will bring the quad tuner Premiere Elite DVR to retail with 2TB of hard disk drive space for as much as 300 hours of HD recording. The aim of the filing? To get the FCC to waive requirements that the Elite — that is designed for digital cable reception only — contain an analog tuner that it claims would increase costs by $80 – $100. There is not any word on price or timing, but it’s clearly intended as a high end product that TiVo plans to give primarily online, through custom installers or specialty outlets like Best Buy’s Magnolia stores. If it gets approved shall we still see the Elite set-top box this year, assuming the FCC has its approval stamp ready and inked.
