Aplus.Net joins forces with TiVo to provide an easy means of viewing digital photos

Aplus.net became the first hosting company to partner with TiVo by integrating their photo storage tool, Web-a-Photo with TiVo’s Digital Video Recorder. Thanks to this new partnership, TiVo users can easily see the photos they have stored online right on their television screens.

“Aplus.Net takes pride in introducing ground-breaking services like this one to our customers,” commented Ivan Vachovsky CEO and President of Aplus.Net. “Viewing photos on a 50” or even 100” plasma television screen can be very exciting, particularly if it is easy to do – no cables, converters, adapters, etc.. With our new service, users have the freedom to manage photos by simply using a TV remote. Our engineers weighted many options when creating this service and I am very glad that we chose to use the TiVo system, as it really stands above the competition with respect to ease of use.”
