    TiVo expects to make the announcement on Wednesday, the paper said.

    The alliance is part of a push by TiVo to differentiate itself from digital video recorders offered by cable companies, which have managed to find a bigger audience.

    The financial terms of the deal are not being disclosed, the paper said.
