Toxikk Veteran Posted January 21, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 21, 2005 Well, I finally got it. TivoToGo It is pretty sweet. The transfers are slow as crap though. I am getting about 400kbps from a wired lan connection. Make a list and set it up to transfer overnight. ;) Burning to dvd should be better though. You have to enter your password every time you play a file on your pc. I think it is a brilliant idea. The rollout process is pretty lame. And it really could transfer faster... but it is off to a great start. After reading the Tivo forums and such it seems they are aware of the issues and will be fixing them in future releases. If you have Tivo and have gotten the update please post your thoughts about the new feature here. I :wub: TiVo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangbang023 Veteran Posted January 21, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 21, 2005 I wish Tivo was compatible with iO from cablevision but it's way too much of a pain to get set up since you need to use the box to get digital stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshbrown Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 In response to your 400KB/s transfer speed, I have a ReplayTV and when I transfer shows from it to my computer, it goes about 1000KB/s at most, without anything else happening on the ReplayTV (that is, nothing is playing on the TV,) and about 400KB/s while something is playing. I just thought I'd mention it for a comparison, though it isn't a Tivo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal2002 Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 For another comparison, a Media Center PC with XP MCE takes 0 seconds to transfer the shows as they are recorded directly to the PC. You can burn with a number of applications, you can edit the files, you can share them on a network with other PC's and devices, you can convert them to other formats, you can put them on portable media center's from within media center with your remote, and more. Sorry, but IMO TiVo loses. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxikk Veteran Posted January 21, 2005 Author Veteran Share Posted January 21, 2005 man, how did you get the 7.1 upgrade so fast!? 585329986[/snapback] i added myself to the priority list the night it was posted. amy told me yesterday it showed her the install message. sure enough. it works now. btw, it *may* not work directly at first. i noticed mine would not find my tivo. turns out it may need 24 hours or so to really start working. works a charm so far. cant wait to burn them to dvdr.

blackice912 Veteran Posted January 28, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 28, 2005 If you signed up the night of it being posted, that means I have at least another month before it reaches me (I signed up the day after). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
