I have a dream:

Apple buys Tivo (I guess that part is optional), then updates iTunes to allow importing recordings from your Tivo Series 2 and 3 over your home network.

Is it a pipe dream? I suppose if it really happened, there would be some amount of payment required - $1.99 per video?

Steve, are you listening? Make it happen!!

I'm pretty sure that if you have a 'hacked' tivo you can use tivotool for this very purpose.

Wow, Awesome! Now I just need to enlarge my balls enough to open up and hack my new S3 (assuming TivoTool is compatible with the S3).

Tivo! has upgraded the Tivo Desktop (requires purchas of $24.99 or something like that and you can download the show to your PC, the show is converted to be compatible with your iPod, and, wahla, you can watch shows on your iPod.

I have been doing this for the last several weeks.

Is there a way to work this process in reverse?

I have been struggling to find a way to take an Itunes purchased show and display it on my Tivo Series 2.

That works great if you're a PC user, but Tivo has left Mac users out in the cold. I asked a Tivo support rep one time how it was coming along with the developent of Tivo to Go for the Mac, and he said they had been working on it for the last "year or so".

From that, I have determined that Tivo employs (at most) 1 Mac programmer.

Why, Tivo, Why???

Opps, did not realize you were a MAC user. I understand you problem better now.

Has anybody been able to do this successfully? I missed this week's ep of Studio 60 because the new software update is causing my Tivo to quit channel changing, so instead of recording NBC it recorded ABC. I'm willing to shell out the buck,ninety-nine for the vid, but I don't have an ipod (just a lil' old Zen Vision) so I'd have nowhere to watch it.

Anybody?

Will Videora Tivo Converter work? or are the I tunes Vid's Encoded with DRM? If not then im preety sure you would be able to convert them using that program.
