It was only a couple of months ago that Super Deluxe launched on TiVoCast, and it’s quickly grown to be one of our most popular channels.

We received some feedback from you that you wanted a bit more control over which types of Super Deluxe videos you received. You also told us you wanted more more more even more MORE more Super Deluxe.

Well, the only reason we on the TiVoCast team come to work each day is to make you happy. Both wishes are granted. Starting this week, there are now 10 new sub-channels of Super Deluxe! You can pick and choose which ones you like (and set how many episodes for each channel separately). Or, you can subscribe to the “All” channel, and get everything.

Here’s the new lineup (with the descriptions provided by Super Deluxe). Each channel has at least three episodes published currently, and new ones will appear weekly. (That’s ten new episodes each week instead of the current five!)

• Fark TV: It’s not news, it’s Fark TV! This extension of the infamous fark.com Web site brings you the coverage you can count on about the stories you could give a crap about.
• I Am Baby Cakes: Behold! Baby Cakes, the man-child brainchild of Brad Neely speaketh, singeth and rappeth about keeping it real…simple.
• The Professor Brothers: The Professor Brothers, Frank and Steve, are holding tenure and they aren’t afraid to sing about it. From the mind of Brad Neely.
• Animation Explosion: Here are some animated features to expand your mind with from the folks behind Wonder Showzen, A Scanner Darkly and Quack Media.
• Celebrity Skewing: No one is better at mocking pop culture icons — and the occasional celebutards — than Super Deluxe.
• Super Deluxe Sings: Not all musical numbers are frilly. SD’s are funny, mean and sometimes subversive. Sing along!
• Nerve’s Position of The Day: Sex is so complicated. That’s why we’re glad Nerve.com offered us these handy positions of the day. Watch and learn!
• What Boys Like: Video games, drinking, chicks, weed. These are things that boys like, and we love creating comedy around.
• Movie Trailer Park: We all love a good movie. Super Deluxe loves them even more when we’re spoofing ‘em. Behold, our criterion collection!
• Funny Ladies: Who says the fairer sex can’t be funny? Maria Bamford, Chelsea Peretti and their pals debunk the stereotypes.

Pretty cool, right?

Ok, here are a few technical details:

If you subscribe to “All Super Deluxe Channels” watch out — you don’t want to also subscribe to any of the sub-channels, or else you’ll get more than one copy of the videos. And that’s just redundant.

Because of how sub-channels work behind the scenes, we had to move around the subscriptions a bit today. If you previously had subscribed to the old single Super Deluxe channel, you’re now automatically subscribed to the new “All Super Deluxe Channels” offering, but if you had previously set your Keep At Most limit to something other than the default 5, we weren’t able to preserve that setting. Sorry.

Finally, there’s a slight, teensy eensy, chance that you may have recently unsubscribed from Super Deluxe, only to have us automatically resubscribe you today. Sorry about that. But maybe you should give Super Deluxe a second chance?

The migration is now all done, so you can now change your Super Deluxe subscriptions as much as you like. If you like, you can unsubscribe from the “All Super Deluxe Channels” feed and just pick and choose your favorites.

As always, to try out Super Deluxe, all you need is a TiVo Series2 or Series3 DVR connected via broadband, and you can pick a channel to try out or subscribe to by heading to TiVo Central -> Find Programs -> Download TV & Movies -> Super Deluxe.

Or, since you’re reading this on the web, you can just visit the TiVo Central Online Super Deluxe page.
