TiVo Desktop Plus 2.6 Now Released

Posted by Zonk on from the lets-you-watch-such-wonderful-things dept.

Engadget's feed lets us know that Tivo has delivered Desktop Plus 2.6, as promised (just a week after they announced the YouTube deal). "Truth be told, there's not a whole lot here that you didn't already get a taste of in our hands-on at CES, but here's the skinny. As of today, TiVo users can grab hold of the latest version of Desktop (Windows only, we're afraid) and 'enjoy a broad range of web entertainment available directly from their TV.' More specifically, these customers 'can choose web videos downloaded on the home PC using web browsers, RSS video clients such as iTunes podcasts, or other video download software to automatically copy to their TiVo DVR's Now Playing List alongside recorded broadcast and cable TV shows.'"

      TiVo Tightens the DRM Vise.

      Now please stop scratching your rectum & sniffing your fingers & go read the dictionary definition of "Offtopic", will you?

    thanks to the automatic -1 rating now for AC, tor users are forced to sign up for a slashdot account but their passwords are probably sniffed by exit nodes.

    what does this mean?

    rather than posting as AC with score 0, ACs posting with auto-score of -1 must sign up and while using tor maybe lose their account to an exit node sniffer or have their account used to post garbage by a rogue entity.

    thanks slashdot for caring!
