What are Home Movies by One True Media?

TiVo and One True Media have teamed up to provide you with a breakthrough video service designed to provide friends and family scattered across the country with an easy way to share your Video and Photo Montages, by sending them directly to their TiVo DVR to play on their TV!

One True Media users create video montages from their personal photos and video clips. At the OTM site, they can add various transitions, captions, effects and music to deliver a broadcast quality video to their very own personalized TiVo channel.

Friends and family can then view the video montage on their TV, at their convenience.

How does Home Movies by One True Media work?

Easy. Once you create your video montage at OneTrueMedia.com, you can share it on your own personal TiVo channel. Just give your private TiVo Code to the TiVo subscribers of your choice, so they can access your uploaded Home Movies. Once downloaded to their TiVo DVR, your friends and family will find your video montages in the “Home Movies by One True Media” folder located within the Music, Photos, Products & More folder on TiVo Central.

To view your channel, a viewer simply enters your private Channel Code (provided in the email that you send them). Once the channel is set up, a code doesn’t need to ever be re-entered. Viewers will have the choice to individually download Video Montages or to create a Season Pass.

When they're ready to watch, viewers simply go to the Now Playing list and open Home Movies by One True Media.

Viewers can also get a Season Pass to receive all future montages or download one video at a time, just like any other show TiVo records.
