TiVo Desktop

This sounds cool:

Good news everyone TiVo users! The TiVO Desktop 2.3 is out and it’s only going to cost you $24.95. Why would you pay for an upgrade you don’t even think you want? Well, it’s because TiVo had to license technology in order to provide you iPod/PSP/Cellphone conversion capabilities. That’s right, now you can convert your TiVo recorded shows directly into iPod/PSP/Treo format without having to use a third party program. Then again, third party programs like Videora are free, which this ain’t.

I've been beta testing this for the last few months. Is pretty cool as you can schedule it to automatically tranfer specific shows to your computer and convert them to whatever format you want (IPOD, PSP) so they are ready to put on your device when you need them.

Actually TiVo Desktop 2.3 is free.

The 'Desktop Plus' upgrade is $24.95, and that gets you the MPEG-4/H.264 conversion and MPEG-2 playback codec (for those who don't have one already).
