NEW YORK — TiVo on Wednesday steps up its effort to erase the line between broadband video and conventional TV — and draw a sharper line between TiVo and in-house cable and satellite digital video recorder (DVR) offerings. It will unveil deals to deliver Web programming from 10 providers for subscribers to watch on their TVs.

"There's this exploding video availability on the Web," TiVo CEO Tom Rogers says. "But for most people it's not real until it's on your TV."

Providing video for the new TiVoCast service will be: the National Basketball Association, The New York Times, CNet, H2O: Hip-Hop on Demand, women's social site iVillage, gay network Here!, action sports network Union on Demand, digital entertainment provider Heavy.com, Danger Rangers kids content and video blog Rocketboom.
