Robbee Minicola, CEO of Hybrid Television Services, the exclusive licensee of TiVo products in Australia and New Zealand said; "In response to our customer's desire to record more great content on digital free-to-air TV, we are delighted to have this product to satisfy their needs. This means that families and TV-buffs alike can record significantly more content including the outstanding High Definition movies and program content available now in Australia."
