TiVo Adds Pandora Internet Radio to 'Premiere' DVRs

Internet radio station Pandora will now be available on all broadband-connected TiVo Premiere boxes.

Users can create a new Pandora account on TiVo or sign-in with an existing one to access current Pandora stations on the TV. Stations created via TiVo will also sync with other devices, like PCs and smartphones.

"Pandora and TiVo share the goal of serving up relevant and engaging content for our listeners and viewers," Jessica Steel, senior vice president of business development at Pandora, said in a statement. "We're excited to add TiVo to the many platforms through which users can access and enjoy Pandora."

TiVo Premiere made its debut in March. The $300 device features a 320GB hard drive, which is good for about 45 hours of HD programming. For more details, see PCMag's full review.

TiVo also offers access to Rhapsody, Live365, and Music Choice. Users who install TiVo Desktop software for PC or Mac can also access songs from their computer's music library.

About Our Expert

Chloe Albanesius

Executive Editor, News

My Experience

I started out covering tech policy in DC for The National Journal, where my beat included state-level tech news and all the congressional hearings and FCC meetings I could handle. I later covered Wall Street trading tech before switching gears to consumer tech. I now lead PCMag's news coverage.

My Areas of Expertise

Getting my start in DC means I still have a soft spot for tech policy; Congressional hearings can sometimes be as entertaining as a Bravo reality show, for better or worse. But PCMag is all about the technology we use every day, as well as keeping an eye out for the trends that will shape the industry in the years ahead (or flop on arrival). I've covered the rise of social media, the iOS vs. Android wars, the cord-cutting revolution that's now left us with hefty streaming bills, and the effort to stuff artificial intelligence into every product you could imagine. This job has taken me to CES in Vegas (one too many times), IFA in Berlin, and MWC in Barcelona. I also drove a Tesla 1,000 miles out west as part of our Best Mobile Networks project. Of late, my focus is on our hard-working team of reporters at PCMag, guiding and editing their robust coverage.
