Hybrid Television Services, the Seven Network majority-owned company, claims that the TiVo PVR is the first of its kind with the ability to time shift any free-to-air 3D broadcasts.

Hybrid claims TiVo customers will get more from their 3D experience with TiVo “trick play” functionality. The CASPA on-demand service available on the TiVo device will also deliver broadband 3D content direct to the TV in coming weeks.
TiVo owners with 3D televisions will have the ability to run to the kitchen while they pause the 3D broadcast with their TiVo, so they never miss a moment of action.

With a TiVo, customers can watch in slow motion and jump back 30 seconds at a touch of a button to see the play in 3D over and over again.

For those pundits who cannot afford a 3D TV.the TiVo can record 3D broadcasts and wait for the 3D television to be purchased, installed and ready to enjoy the 3D content previously recorded on the TiVo.

Expected from June, TiVo customers will be able to download 3D content and watch it with their 3D television straight from their TiVo. Initially content will include movie trailers and short animations, but it will grow to include movies and documentaries shot in 3D.
