American Airlines’ Customers Get Early Taste of Latest Portable Entertainment

Some of American Airlines’ most frequent travelers will be attending the TiVoToGo premier on a two-hour chartered flight out of the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on June 8. These customers will be able to enjoy their favorite TV shows on Portable Media Centers, loaded with TiVo content via the expanded TiVoToGo service.

“American Airlines is proud to play host to this significant technology announcement from TiVo, Microsoft and Intel,” said Billy Sanez, corporate communications manager, American Airlines. “These companies are leaders in their respective fields, so it only makes sense that the world’s largest airline would serve as the backdrop to this new mobile entertainment announcement.”

According to Sanez, American Airlines is in the business of mobility and understands the needs of today’s tech-savvy customers. “With services such as Wi-Fi hot spots, e-ticketing, online and cell phone check-in, flight status notification, self-service check-in and more, American is dedicated to providing customers the tools and technologies to simplify their lives and make today’s flight experience easier than ever,” Sanez said.

The Sky’s the Limit

In addition to the expanded TiVoToGo services on the various portable devices, TiVo subscribers may also take advantage of the new Humax 40-hour DVD recorder, which is now available at retail stores nationwide, as well as MyDVD Studio 6.1 software from Sonic. Both products enable consumers to securely burn TV shows recorded on a TiVo DVR to DVD for playback on any of the millions of DVD players and DVD-equipped PCs worldwide.
