Letting Your Inner Couch Potato Go Out to Play

A growing number of software programs make this transfer possible, primarily TiVoToGo, a free service for TiVo subscribers. Right now, TiVoToGo works to transfer TV shows to personal computers, DVD’s, and media players like the one owned by Sydney Sheppard that support Microsoft’s mobile video format. During the first quarter this year, though, TiVo is expected to offer TiVoToGo software that works with video iPods and Sony PlayStation Portables, expanding the number of people who can have portable versions of shows.

There is an article in today’s NY Times about mobile video, and a large part of the article is related to TiVoToGo. The author also interviewed Dave Zatz, of ZatzNotFunny.

Gear Live TiVo Series3 video interview

Gear Live did a video interview with TiVoPony demonstrating the Series3 in the TiVo suite at CES. They cover the same info I posted the other day, but it gives you a nice view of the UI features and some of the changes for dual-tuner and HD support. They also show the TiVo 11g adapter. The video is about 12 minutes long and worth checking out.

Thanks for the mention TiVoPony. :-)

And thanks to PVRWire for the heads up.
