Dave To Host TiVo House Party

Sign up for a TiVo House Party? Me too! My party is Saturday night and no one’s invited, but TiVo sent me two hours of video to watch anyway.

Broadband connected TiVo subscribers will receive a program package that includes two new trailers for the highly anticipated Weinstein Company films Arthur & The Invisibles, a live-action and computer-animated family adventure featuring the talents of Madonna, Snoop Dogg, Mia Farrow and David Bowie, and Bobby, Emilio Estevez’s exploration of the night in 1968 when Bobby Kennedy was gunned down nd the lives of those at the Ambassador Hotel that fateful night. Party-goers will also be treated to trailers for the upcoming comedy School for Scoundrels starring Billy Bob Thornton and Jon Heder, and the action-adventure film Stormbreaker starring Ewan McGregor and Mickey Rourke, both from the Weinstein Company. The special 2-hour programming block will feature a behind-the-scenes look at the production of the innovative new Concord Music CD “Ray Sings, Basie wings” featuring commentary from Ray Charles’ longtime manager; “hopefuls” auditioning for the opportunity to perform at a Def on Demand event sponsored by H20: Hip Hop OnDemand; and a one-hour recap of the hit Sci-Fi Channel series Battlestar Galactica narrated by series star Mary McDonnell.

By the way, it probably serves me right, but since signing up for the TiVo House Party I was spammed to host a non-TiVo party. The House Party web site doesn’t seem to have an opt-out option, so keep that in mind if you’re thinking of hosting this or other TiVo parties.

  1. You should invite me. I won’t be able to make it, so you get cred for the invite, but don’t have to deal with my nonsense.

  2. Was this whole house party thing ONLY for Series 2 owners? I wonder how many Series 1 owners just bought Series 3 boxes, and felt a little left out of the whole party thing? Or maybe it was just me. No matter, friends still want to stop by just to see HD on the new Series 3. No special “house party” programming needed. ;-)
