TiVo Edge all-in-one media device comes to Canada

If you're thinking of cutting the cord but somehow still want access to live TV, TiVo just launched the TiVo Edge in the country. It's an all-in-one media device that works with an HD antenna to give you access to live TV, DVR, and streaming content from apps like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video with up to 4K UHD resolution. It is available for $299.99 with a service plan of $8.99 monthly or $89.99 annually.

The TiVo Edge comes with features like SkipMode, which lets you skip to the end of a commercial break and resume watching instantly with a touch of a button; and OnePass, which helps you track down every episode and season of your favourite shows. It can automatically record current and upcoming episodes for you and add these to the shows' playlist. You can use voice control with the device to shuffle between live TV, TiVo EDGE, and streaming apps. The device comes with two tuners and a 500GB drive for up to 75 HD recording hours.

Google Play Store gets one-tap option to leave beta programs and more

The Google Play Store is simplifying how you can opt-out of beta programs, pre-registrations for apps and games, as well as clear out your Wishlist. There is a new "Google Play preferences" section in the Play Store's settings that will allow you to do what we mentioned above with just a tap of your finger. In this part, you'll discover one-tap options for clearing your Wishlist, leaving all beta programs, unregistering from upcoming events, and removing all app or game pre-registrations. However, the feature is not showing up to all users at this time.

Before this option showed up, you could manage features like these on a per-app basis. The Wishlist is accessible in the side menu, while the beta programs are in the My Apps > Beta section. But now you can sort of Thanos snap these out of your life. Aside from making things simpler, this move could also help with troubleshooting. Beta apps can include more software bugs, so this might be a clean and easier way to get those out of your phone.

Netflix renews 'Stranger Things' for Season 4, signs multi-year deal with its creators

Being the streaming service's most popular original series, it comes as no surprise that Stranger Things is getting a new season. But it looks like they won't take place in Hawkins anymore. The announcement video above and tweets from official Netflix and Stranger Things accounts all say the same thing: "We're not in Hawkins Anymore." Hawkins, Indiana has been the setting for the first three seasons of the show. Beyond this reveal though, we don't have information on the specific release date nor do we know if this will be the final season for the show itself.

However, it won't be the last time we'll see the Duffer brothers work with Netflix as Matt and Ross Duffer signed a multi-year film and TV content deal with the streaming service. We don't know the specific terms, but rumour has it that it's a nine-figure contract. We also don't know if this means more Stranger Things-related material or entirely new stories.
