According to most ‘techies,’ new technology isn’t that exciting if you can’t get YouTube on it. TiVo was revolutionary when it first came out, but it did lack YouTube, and now the new versions of TiVo will no longer have that problem.

If you have TiVo series 2, though, you’ll be out of luck, because it will only be available on series 3 and HD models. By the end of the month, TiVo owners who qualify for the YouTube ability should see the download option they can use to get the service. Whether this is really needed is arguable, but like most of technology needed is not really the issue.

The main issue is what people want and demand from the technology that they have and will buy in the future. YouTube is one of the most popular sites in existence today, because almost everything can be found there.

Are you looking for a music video from a one-hit wonder? Do you want to see hip-hop from another country? How about a video of someone having a medical procedure?

No matter what your interest is, there is something on YouTube that will catch your attention, and mixing it with TiVo only seems to be a natural choice that will appeal to a very large number of people.
