I have a Toshiba RS-TX20 DVD burner with lifetime basic, it is a Series 2. How can I get my media from MRV over to this machine for burning? Is it even possible? I was thinking maybe I have to "add Tivo Plus"?? I received a message for a trial of this service. I do have the TX20 on the network but do not understand how to access its' content over the network?:confused:

MRV won't work with an unsubbed unit.

Pretty sure it's the going rate - i.e. a "regular" TiVo subscription.

AFAIK no content MRVed to the Toshiba unit will be burnable to DVD. If something is MRVed to the unit (even from another Toshiba) the software assumes it is not DVD-compatible and stops you from burning it.

Yes, you need a Plus subscription to transfer content to/from the DVR. The price is the same current rate as other standalones have.
