Abstract
Mike Ramsay and Jim Barton founded TiVo in 1997. Their original plan was to create a network server for homes. Realizing it would be hard to explain to consumers why they needed one, they narrowed the idea down to one component of the original plan: the digital video recorder (DVR). The first version was launched in 1999.
