Tivo, Tivo Media Engine (SDK).

• CNET, TiVo seeks new ideas from developers:
  

  The company expects to release three applications with the kit. One will display on a television weather information gathered from a broadband-connected PC. Other applications include an RSS reader and a game.

• PVR Blog, Tivo’s Home Media Engine Launched:
  

  I believe embracing developers and letting them extend TiVo is one of the ways to keep TiVo ahead of the PVR pack. I see an explosion of cool apps coming really soon that will tie the web closer into every TiVo.

• Steve, Tivo Home Media Engine SDK (FYI, Steve works at MS):
  

  Personally, the more I look into it, the more I believe that the Media Center SDK offers a much more compelling set of API’s if you want to develop software that runs on a home theater.

• Dave Winer, TiVO releases a developer kit. Too late?
• Jeremy Zawodny, Tivo’s HME SDK:
  

  This means that Yahoo (or anyone) could start releasing applications for the Tivo.
  

  
  Wow, a bold and wise move.
