Slashdot Mirror
Automated TiVo to iPod formating
Berkana writes "PVR Wire reports that 'TVHarmony.com has released a new version of its AutoPilot software that supports converting TiVo-recorded shows into a format that's compatible with the new video iPod. It also works with Palm devices that can view video.
"The software automatically transfers, converts and stores your TV programming. You can select shows to be downloaded automatically, in the middle of the night if you like, and process the transfers into popular formats. AutoPilot keeps track of the shows you've already downloaded so you can transfer an entire TV series without duplicates.'
. . . in other words, one of the biggest gripes concerning the new iPod has been addressed."
iPod halo effect, was nice meeting you. Now you're dead.
I'd maybe care if the iPod Video was at least a decent PMP, but it's not so I'm not really interested. nyone who wants to not have to squint at a 2.5" screen and be stuck with support for only 2 codecs should take a long at www.archos.com
You guys are stupid. You should of never bought a tivo. There are DVR units that work for a mac and export to formats that mac uses. So its your own fault for not doing research before buying a product meant for PCs. EyeTV works with macs and exports to MPEG4 and Quicktime H264 so you can use the video on your Mac, burn to DVD, or copy it to the iPod. If you don't know how to take the mpeg that the device spits out and drag it into iTunes to be copied to the iPod then you might not want to be using a computer. Keep in mind this is slashdot so I'm assuming certain things. In other words IF YOU OWN MAC OS X AND A MACINTOSH DONT BUY TIVO BUY EYETV! The website is www.elgato.com and they sell them at the Apple Store in your area.
