Tivo To Go - Compress/E-mail???

[jlh41]

Is it possible to winzip and e-mail a downloaded file? I'm trying to find a way to record a show and then send it to my daughter in Europe. Another option...if she had TivoToGo on her computer and my signon (with my Tivo info) can she download directly to her computer?

Thank you to all you tech geniuses out there!

WinZip will not help. TiVo files are already MPEG2 compressed, so zipping them will not make them any smaller.

As for how to do it.... To be honest your daughter is probably better off looking into BitTorrent. You can find almost any TV show on BitTorrent within a few days of it airing, and the doanload will a LOT faster then if you try to send it to her via email or allow her to download it directly from your TiVo.

Slingbox is another option, sometimes overlooked, sometimes oft repeated.
