View Full Version : how to stream fron tivo to ps3 ?
I have a Tivo HD in my family room and I would like to stream video from my Tivo to my bed room - and putting at the same time a blue ray player - I am considering two options
1- buy a PS3 if I could get the tivo to strem to the PS3
2 - built a HDPC (more expensive to 1)
anyone knows how to stream directly ( I know it could be possible to go thru a PC) from TIVo to PS3 ?
Thanks

I'm not familiar with the PS3's media player abilities, but I'd be beyond surprised if it would stream from a tivo natively.
Shocked... nay Dumbfounded, even.

You cannot stream, exactly anyways, video to/from a TiVo (at least not now). Video transfers are always copies.
I don't know of the PS3s capabilities in that regard.
You can transfer to a PC and view though, provided no copy protection is used.
thanks... Well, I think I will build an HDPC for my bedroom - you are using ubuntu linux ? how to transfer video from Tivo to a PC runing Linux ? I understood that Tivo desktop does not work on Linux.

An HTTP get can pull video off of a Tivo. Any platform could do that.
If you want the simplicity of Tivo Desktop, then I would consider if Linux is really the best platform for you.
