Is it possible for me to connect my TiVo to my PC and pull the mpg files over to the PC for burning? I couldn't seem to find anything on this in the FAQ.
Thanx,

If you need that functionality right now you have a few choices...Originally posted by FATGUYMEST
thats it though huh? no way of getting the video from the TiVo to my PC? thats one of the main reasons I bought the device. I thought I could rip **** to DVD easily with a USB cable.
Series 2 units encrypt all video before storing it on the hard drive. So even if you could manage to capture the stream being transfered between units you still wouldn't be able to do anything with it without the encryption key. The TiVoToGo package will do just this, however it will include a USB key, that you plug into the computer, that contains the encryption key necessary to play back and/or burn the recordings.Originally posted by FATGUYMEST
If it can do all that....I find it very hard to believe some programmer out there hasn't come up with a software to copy the videos from the DVR to a PC yet. It seems programmers and crackers figure out every thing else and offer get options to programs that never existed pretty quickly.
I guess you should have done a wee bit more research, then, because Tivo makes no claims that you can do that with the device.Originally posted by FATGUYMEST

OK, I added an item for it (with a link to one of Dan203's posts above) to the Help Center sticky thread Before you askplease check these top answers for TiVo questions!Originally posted by pkscout
is there some way we could get this added to the FAQ? It seems like there is at least one thread every day asking this exact question.
