TivoToComeback in the new TiVo Mac client
The other day I gave TiVo a little grief for releasing a point release of their Mac desktop client with the only change being it is a Universal app (I was kidding, of course). Well, it would seem that the Mac client has a little hidden gem in it. If you follow these directions you'll see a new pane in the TiVo preferences. This allows you to transfer video from your Mac onto your Tivo for viewing on your TV (this feature is called 'TiVoToComeback'). This is disabled by default in the client, so it probably isn't ready for primetime, but if you're adventurous give it a go.
Thanks to Dave for the pic.

Well, I guess this is OK for those shows I have to d/l on BitTorrent (like the episode of 24 and Sopranos I mssed recently), but what about the other way around???? Either way, cheers to Tivo for finally bringing this up to snuff!!!

it's a universal binary. Works fine on PowerPC.

Wouldn't it be nice if it would transcode other video formats on the fly, ala TivoServer... Can't wait to get my MacBook Pro back to test!
