Kind of box for media watchers

Answer:

TIVO

Hint:

This brand revolutionized pausing and recording live TV in the early 2000s.

Explanation:

This clue plays on the idea of a "box" that media watchers use, which is a DVR (digital video recorder). "TiVo" is a well-known brand of DVR that lets people record and watch TV shows, so it fits as a "kind of box" for viewers. The word "box" here refers to the physical device, not an actual container.
