Cool...well, not. Don't these people realize the Mac is made for digital video??!? Anyhoo, in general though, TiVo'd video can be brought into some form of PC then. That's one of the things I've been wanting to know. Thanx!

It's theoretically possible if you use VirtualPC, but realistically, you'd probably be better off buying one of those units with a built-in DVD recorder. Me, I have a $100 PC lying around that I use mostly for connecting to work, but now it's gonna be my TiVoToGo box too.

TiVo has claimed that they're working on TiVoToGo for the Mac, but I don't know if it'll ever happen. They're reliant on Windows Media for their DRM right now. Maybe once Apple comes out with their video iPod and QuickTime-based DRM, TiVo will decide it's worth it.

You traded the Bluesmobile for a microphone?!?!?

So, with Tivo and the Mac, is it possible to download stuff from the Tivo box and burn it to DVD? Or...should I even be talking of such things on an open forum...because I'm really not that interested in doing something like that.

It's Christmas all year 'round here at the RKO ranch.
