Uh oh… convergence is coming

In the midst of everyone’s Apple frenzy today, here’s something you may have overlooked: in a press release, Apple announced that it’s Rendezvous technology will be integrated into Tivo:

“TiVo’s upcoming premium service package will use Rendezvous technology to automatically discover Macs within the home network and determine which services they provide, allowing customers to listen to their shared music or view their shared photos on their TV,” said Jim Barton, co-founder and CTO for TiVo. “We are excited about working with Apple on other ways Rendezvous can help TiVo Series2 DVRs connect to a Mac to deliver future services.”
