One of the best 'features' about Tivo is the desktop/Tivo2Go application. Files can be moved from the tivo to the PC, which is good.
The downside to this is when you have individuals, such as myself, who organize video files properly. Proper organization goes something like this (at least to me)
Show (Folder) -> Season (Folder) -> episode (File)
So, everything isn't just shown as ONE list. This is how it's stored on my hard drive @ home, so I can go in, pull up X show of X season quick and painlessly.
The problem is that Tivo ignores this, and shows everything as Episode (file), which makes searching through shows just impossible.
Please, for the love of GOD, add some proper sorting into things here. If a user has something as a 'folder', don't just blindly include it as a 'file', recognize it's a 'folder', and display it as such, allowing the USER to go through it, and browse it if they choose.
PyTivo, doesn't work worth a damn on vista, so that's not an option
Galleon, close, but I shouldn't HAVE to have secondary software to do this! This is what Tivo is paid to do. Is it THAT complicated to display proper structure and organization, according to how the USER wants things? Why, for the love of gods must you throw everything into one 'batch' display?
