TiVo and Rendezvous

Posted by pudge on from the gimme-gimme-some-lovin dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Just found this press release on the Apple web site. Time to upgrade the TiVo?" Looks way excellent. Right now I have an old iBook sitting on top of the TV, and it streams MP3s via AirPort from the server. But it would be so much better to just listen to the MP3s through the TiVo instead ... and have access to my iPhoto albums too? Sweet. But I would still want it to be wireless: Josuah writes "Alex King has set up his TiVo 2 to download its meta information over his 802.11b network, instead of the landline. He's got step-by-step instructions up." I'd probably want to use 802.11g though ... lots of data, this is.

    Fascinating how porn continues to be the driving force behind technology. Bigger, faster more!

    I think you need a little less TV in your life and a little more learning.

      I am vexed by your implication. In your suggestion that I learn more, you either mean that there are people who don't need to learn more -- and surely no such person exists -- or that my speech above is evidence that I am especially lacking in learning. There's no evidence for either suggestion. Thornton Wilder said, "Many great writers have been extraordinarily awkward in daily exchange, but the greatest give the impression that their style was nursed by the closest attention to colloquial speech." If my speech was, as you suggest, a propos to the topic of television, then perhaps I've done my job properly.

    I just recieved a christmas update email from him and when I tried to respond to him it said the account no longer existed. I saw his show a few months ago, I'm not even sure how he got my e-mail address though.

    OK It's a Crock.. I just hung up with His theater manager and he is alive and well.. Anyone in Chicago can see him in the next few weeks at the Noble Fools Theater. Thanks Connie for the update.. I never hurt from laughter so bad as when I saw Him in Branson.

    I thought you said the MacWorld stuff was boring. What about that?

    Hmmm.. I consider contributing pointing out that the post I replied to was non-factual, and there is no reason to take any heed of its word...

    What is pointless is your post. Certainly off-topic. The words 'daft idiot' come to mind
