GolfSpan and LX.TV arrive on TiVoCast
Two new TiVoCast content partners launched today and now have content listed under TiVo Central -> Find Programs -> TiVoCast as well as the TiVoCast section of Tivo Central Online. They’re listed in alphabetical order in TCO and at the bottom of the HME App.
- GolfSpan is the world leader in online video golf instruction with 600+ videos from the likes of Jim McLean, Hank Haney & Jimmy Ballard. Update frequency is twice per week (Tuesday and Thursday). The first episode of GolfSpan is “X Factor Power Set Up” (6 minutes).
- LX.TV is your exclusive destination for original lifestyle and cultural programming. They will publish the following two programs:
- Drinks W/LX (Tuesday and Thursday)
- LX/101 (Monday, Wednesday, Friday)
Note that if you get a Season Pass to LX.TV you will get both programs. The first episode of LX.TV is “What’s your Beef?” and includes a lesson from LA’s Boa Steakhouse about some of the finer points of meat (2 minutes).
In the first week or so, these might not be published as regularly as normal in order to allow time for customers to subscribe.
I don’t play golf, so I don’t have much to say about the first one. But I enjoyed the first episode of LX.TV (even though I don’t eat red meat).

Would be nice to actually get Tivocast to work…
Two nights on the phone trying to get to talk to someone at Tivo support – last night the Tivo phone system dumped me out after more than 1/2 hour and tonight I have been on hold now for 53 minutes, as I write this.
… I’ve had Tivo since 1999, never had to call until now, and not at all impressed with support (or lack of it)

Rori, sorry to hear you had an issue and sorry to hear about the difficulty reaching support. The average hold time is listed as about four minutes, so I don’t understand why you had to wait so long.
This is a personal blog (where I post pics of my kid and stuff like that), so it’s probably not the best place to go for support. My suggestion is to either post on the TiVoCommunity forum or the official TiVo support forums, or call back support at 1-877-367-8486 and request to talk to a supervisor. You can also e-mail me at estephen at tivo.com. Please send me your 15 digit TiVo Service Number (from System Information) and a description of the problem.
