TiVo Desktop+ owners - call TiVo and complain

Is the feature broken, or no longer supported/abandoned? From posts here, I thought the latter, in which case, good luck with TiVo.

Note that this is not just an issue for TiVo Desktop Plus users--it also applies to TiVo Desktop (non-Plus) users, as well as pyTivo users.

edit/correction: Per the below, does not apply to TiVo Desktop unpaid.

 

Only TiVo Desktop Plus could do pushes so it shouldn't impact users of the free version.

I stand corrected, thanks.

I've always been confused about this and admittedly haven't used TiVo Desktop (non-Plus) for many years. I had reached your above conclusion earlier, but then was told here that I should be able to push with TiVo Desktop (non-Plus). Totally perplexed by this, I went to pyTivo instead.

 

Am happy to lodge my concern with TiVo. Honestly, I thought that this was a done deal, officially. Thanks for bringing this up.

For all other users, hopefully you can proceed likewise!

 

Not sure who told you that here but it wasn't correct.

Yep, I ultimately concluded that likely was the case, and moved on to pyTivo; but thanks for confirming.

 

Hello. I have just upped my roamio hard drive and have many shows I off loaded to win7 pc - and now would like to push shows back to my tivo.
there is no longer a "push" button/command on kmttg/pytivo - though I had not used it alot so maybe i'm not doing it right? I can 'pull' one at a time from the tivo 'now playing' - but i have hundreds of shows and those menus/controls are clunky/slow/horrible from the tivo side - I really need the kmttg push capability (via pytivo tool) . Wasn't there a "push" button up at the top right in 2.2j? (i'm not running 2.2m)?

Is pytivo/kmttg push dead? or is there some work around?

who should I complain to? being able to push and pull shows - with the excellent kmttg/pytivo programs are a big part of why i love a use Tivo to manage my fios content that i pay for as I see fit inside my household.

thanks for any help/info.

 

I don't mean to be argumentative, lpwcomp, but has TiVo ever expressed antagonism towards pyTivo? I thought I've seen TiVo express an openness towards software like pyTivo, and so I would think that pyTivo users likewise should contact TiVo politely, especially where TiVo cancelled TiVo Desktop Plus admittedly without making its own alternative available.

 

I guess I like the illusion that TiVo wants me to be happy in being able to fully use my box, even if it means that I sub in a mega hard drive or use pyTivo to access it. My guess is, some in TiVo really do (but that may be my illusion acting up again).

 

not going to waste my time, its not worth it. Push is dead and I haven't been able to link my tivo account either so for me pull from tivo is dead too. and onepass for streaming shows is dead too. tivo has been a disaster since the Rovi merger

 

at the same time push died, my main tivo became invisible in Tivo desktop 2.8.3 so I can no longer transfer any shows to my PC. Since I cannot link to my tivo account I assumed this was the cause. all I can do now is manually transfer .mp4 and .avi files from my PC to my Tivo

 

My Roamio boxes are using RC15. Desktop+ 2.8.3 on my Windows 8.1 computer has never lost the ability to transfer .tivo files. No music, no video push, but the basic stuff still works.

 

my tivo still recognizes 2.8.3, the problem is my 2.8.3 does not recognize my Tivo Roamio
