What you truly love to watch on TV shouldnt be hard to find, said Jim Denney, Vice President of Product Marketing at TiVo.

Using What to Watch Now, TiVo users are immediately presented with the programming they would most enjoy without surfing channels or browsing a guide. What to Watch Now combines the viewers preferences based on viewing history and assesses live programs airing within the next 30 minutes against real-time, regional viewing trends and user-defined preferences, to offer tailored entertainment recommendations categorized by genre, in an easy to use format.

What to Watch Now users select movies and shows from specific feeds that create a unique, personal and easy-to-use view of what matters most to them at any time:

What to Watch Now is further enhanced for sports enthusiasts by partnering with Thuuz, a sports metadata provider that calculates the excitement factor for live sporting events, based on a zero to 100 scale. Games and matches ranked as more exciting are denoted and listed with higher numbers, helping TiVo users immediately identify the must-watch sports game of the moment.
