TiVo is teaming up with Nero to bring a new video recording solution to the PC. The companies announced Nero LiquidTV/TiVo PC on Monday. The product will offer TiVo functions from a computer, without the need for a set-top box. The system will be marketed toward both existing TiVo users and families that don’t currently have digital video recording devices. It will run $199 for the full hardware kit — including tuner card, a TiVo remote for the PC, and an IR blaster — or $99 for just the software by itself. You’ll also have to pay $99 a year for the TiVo service.
