TiVo Desktop for Mac version 1.9.3

by Scott McNulty May 3rd 2006 at 12:00PM

A few days ago TiVo updated their Mac version of TiVo Desktop to 1.9.3. What wonders does this point release hold? Well, if you aren't using an Intel Mac there isn't much to get excited about. That's right folks, this update makes TiVo Desktop a Universal app, but doesn't add anything else (though it is nice to see it as a Universal app).

The requirements to run it are:
  • A networked TiVo Series2 DVR
  • iTunes 3.0.1 or later required for music; iPhotos 5 or later required for photos
  • 400MHz G3 processor or better recommended
  • 256MB RAM or more recommended
Thanks, Dave.

I don't know if this means anything but a folder called "TiVoShows" was created by this update in my user directory.

On my Mac, after I installed this, it created a folder in my home called TivoShows. Interesting...

So, we beat up Adobe and Microsoft for not releasing an [just] universal binary upgrade for their products, and for waiting to go universal until the next major upgrade of their products, but we also beat up Tivo for going universal fairly quickly, but not giving customers a major upgrade.

Damned if they do, damned if they don't. That's fair!

At least Tivo's showing that they're committed to Macs by releasing an Universal Binary.

TiVo's been saying "mid-2006" for some time now, so far as TiVoToGo is concerned.

h crap! I thought the real functional upgrade was here, on an even keel with PCs. I'm not that keen on streaming media from my mac to the Tivo, as the other way, for editing, onward to portable devices.

ack... when is Tivo going to be good to the Mac users that also love their Tivo's???? I hate having a PC to do what a Mac should be able to do...
