Comments on: FAQ: Behind TiVo's play for iPod, PSP

TiVo says it's hooking up with the iPod and PlayStation Portable. But the devil is in the details.

Fix your features, not add new ones tivo

How bout you add WPA wireless support? what we have only been asking for it for 2+ years. Second how bout you get Sonic MyDVD, the official burning software of tivo2go, to work without crashing with tivo desktop 2.2?

That would be a better place to put your investments.

BIG BROTHER & TiVo

The Microsoft Monopoly "partnered" with TiVo recently when pushing their MSMediaPC box.

Now, this will maybe work with iPod/Windows version, but the Mac OSX is not supported, but "we're working on it..."
MacWorld Expo January 2006 is just around the corner.
If I were TiVo, I would be very worried.

get an older tivo box with a nic card installed

so you can transfer your shows to any pc, seems like they just keep making tivo worse instead of better

[prelude619]

"NIC CARD" isnt this a little redundant?

Common you computer geeks! NIC stand for Network Interface Card (NIC) when you say NIC CARD you are actually saying:
NETWORK INTERFACE CARD CARD...DUH!!!!

TVHarmony Autopilot already does this!

The Autopilot beta software available at http://www.tvharmony.com already does this. You can schedule downloads from your standalone Tivo to your PC and then automatically transcode it for your Video iPod, PSP, or other mobile video player. It still maintains the DRM of the Tivo show by digitally watermarking it with the MAK of your Tivo. It seems to work very well although all features are not yet complete because it's still in Beta.

Beat them to it??

"A Mac version of the service is expected sometime next year."

While Mac users await compatibility, I wonder if Apple will deliver a
DVR solution - Mac mini + Front Row + DVR??

I can already do this!

I have a ReplayTV and with "DVArchive" and "QuickTime Pro" (or an
application like "iSquint" and others) it's just download and
convert.

Me too ---

But I prefer to use my laptop w/ DVArchive

Sounds like a great idea

Sounds like a great idea. I already have 2 Tivos and an iPod. I might even buy the newer version of the iPod if I can transfer TV shows to it.

There is no "devil in the details"

It's an obviously prejudicial statement to say "the devil is in the details." It implies some type of fraud where none exists. It shouldn't take a genius to figure out that having the proper Tivo, the proper iPod, and other hardware will be required to make all this work. The slam sounds like some whining by somebody who's mad they aren't going to bother creating software for the Mac. Hey, they're not going to support Windows 98SE either. Guess what? More users currently use 98SE than use any version of Apple's software.

Good ol' Bill....

... can't resist even the remotest opportunity to try to put down the
Mac. Almost sounds like a massive case of sour grapes. Or just
plain meanness.

Maybe someone should put down ol' Bill.
