TiVoToGo For iPods and PSPs

Posted by Hemos on from the try-to-remain-alive dept.

BushCheney08 writes "According to an article in the San Francisco Chronicle, TiVo is expanding its TiVoToGo service to allow recordings to be viewed on video iPods and PSPs. Files will be transcoded in real time and will include digital watermarks to try to cut down on piracy. The service begins beta-testing for select subscribers today, with a widespread rollout scheduled for early next year. An AP article is also available at Forbes."

  1. TV Shows on iPod by ccZaphod · · Score: 4, Funny

    I've been carrying shows around on my iPod for years. I've got a dozen episodes of Farscape sitting on it right now. I watch shows from my iPod on my Laptop when I'm on the road. I have not bought a Video iPod yet and think I'd prefer to watch on a big laptop screen anyway.

    MPEG output. Open source. Built on any operating system you want. MythTV is simply everything TiVo, Sony, and Apple are not.

    Including about 40+ hours of your time, and several wasted unsupported TV tuner card and TV-out video card purchases.

    "Built on any operating system you want"

    As long as you want Linux. *cough*
