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."

    I wonder how long before it will be that the same places that outlaw talking on a cellphone while driving have to add iPods to that list? I've never been in a situation where I needed to watch tv so bad that I felt I had to carry one around with me everywhere.

    Would I feel differently if I had one of my own? Doubtful, (though I am open-minded about it) because I'd much rather have someone buy me something that I could really use, like a new garage door opener.

    I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, yadda yadda, but paying all that money for a tiny TV just seems ridiculous to me, when there are so many other things that I could use, like this. You never know when they might save your life!

    How do I get an overrated mod when no one modded me up in the first place?
