TiVo announced today the launch of the high-end TiVo Series3 HD Digital Media Recorder — the first stand-alone TiVo product that is HD compatible.

With a built-in Ethernet jack and USB ports, the TiVo Series3 HD box also provides advanced connectivity and easy networking. TiVo users will also be able to access TiVoCasts such as RocketBoom.

The TiVo Series3 is designed to fit seamlessly into home theater systems. It is compatible with digital cable, analog cable and is the first TiVo to support over-the-air digital HD (ATSC).

Later this year, it will also support the newly released TiVoCast service feature which allows users to access content directly through their broadband connection.

Available beginning mid-September, the TiVo Series3 HD box will be the world’s first THX-certified, digital video recorder, delivering audio and video that maintains the fidelity of the original broadcast.
