TiVo Ties In With PSP And iPod | News | Media Center PC World

TiVo has announced an expansion of its TiVoToGo service to include PSPs and iPods. The move will be welcome news for TiVo users who own one of the popular video playback devices. Up until now, moving video from a TiVo box to a PSP or iPod, involved a complex chain of conversion software to get files into the required MPEG-4 format. Now the conversion will happen natively as part of TiVoToGo.
[ Smart, and necessary. If TiVo's gonna survive, they need to position themselves as the easiest turnkey solution and the one that has the most consumer-friendly features. -k] |

Ah, yes, but the absurd postscript: TiVoToGo, the software which will send the content from your TiVo to your iPod, will not be available for OS X until "mid-2006." As a longtime TiVo owner and new Apple owner, I submit "curse." |
