Then I use VideoReDo to remove the commercials and store the file as a MPEG. Now I'm trying to upload them on to a Toshiba Gigabeat S running MCE. When I try to sync. using Windows Media Player it won't convert the files to WMA's. it gives me an error. I know there are converters out there but I'm wondering is there anything that would shorten the process? I don't want to convert the MPEG to WMA then delete the MPEG's. Then upload. I'd like to remove a step. Any Ideas?

I recently purchased a Seagate 750gb. I tried using InstantCake on it, but the two attempts were unsuccessful. . . . Is there a hard drive size limitation with InstantCake? If so, what is the limit? . . . Is it possible that my two-year-old software is out of date, and I need to buy a new copy?

TiVoToGo and Multi-Room Viewing (MRV). This November, the latest in TiVo's line will get them back. Check out this (lengthy) thread on the TiVo Community. In the thread, Bob Pony (TiVo representative) makes the following statement... I know you've been anxiously awaiting TiVoToGo and Multi-Room Viewing on your Series3 and TiVoHD boxes. I wanted to let you know that development has been progressing smoothly, and all is well. You can expect TTG & MRV to be available for Series3 and TiVoHD this November. These features will provide support for video transfers between Series3 & Series2 systems and between a Series3/Series2 system and a PC. High Definition content will not be supported for transfer or playback on a Series2 system (Series2's just can't play HD), and copy-protected High Def or Standard Def content cannot be transferred (same as our current Series2 products).

My Question: I have a DirectTV R10 and as far as I read there is no way short modifying the Hardware to get the Feature TivoToGo. Can I buy a cheap TIVO which supports TivoToGo hook it up on my DirectTV Account? Do I have to pay TIVO their $ 10.00 a month fee to be able to use the Feature TivoToGo or is the $ 5.00 a month fee I pay DirectTV right now for my R10 enough? What is the cheapest way to get Files from my TIVO to my Computer after I bought a new TIVO? What would be the best TIVO Box out there to use the TivoToGo Feature. Thanks for all answers.

I can use the same remote to control both. I just have to switch the device slider to AV1 to control the second.???? I am able to control the HR20 that is set to the default code. However, the second one which has been modified to use the AV1 setting, cannot be controlled. I have tried the following alternate codes: 00002, 00003, 1377, 1379, 1380 As my presence here suggests, none of the codes work.???? Please can anyone help me with my problem?

It was great to experience how easy the basic setup was and how quickly I could access content already recorded on my TiVo systems while sitting at my desk. My ideal scenario is offloading programming to the PC and converting to DIVX so that I can watch programs on my Archos AV500 while mobile. I'll call this "nomadic placeshifting" for lack of a better term - the point is, offline viewing of "slinged" (slung?) content is what I'd like to be able to do. Is anyone familiar with a way to easily capture and convert content served up by the Sling interface? Yes, I am familiar with the 'extraction' methods which involve modification of the TiVo and decryption of media as its recorded - this is a DMCA no-no, however. Using the analog method chosen by Sling, its completely legitimate; but I'm not certain if Sling then encrypts some of the data and/or whether its accessible without causing other problems. Is this a technical issue? A policy issue? Both?

To learn about this contest, and how to win a free Slingbox , please review the contest details . We know your DVR is lonely, so it's high time you tried to get it a date! How? Write a personals ad for your DVR! Think of your DVR as your best friend (you know you already do anyway), and try to find it a special someone by telling it's age, interests, hobbies, location, neighbors, etc. For example, a personals ad for my 7-year old Panasonic Showstopper PVHS-2000 would read: They don't make 'em like me anymore! I'm a Distinguished, "Single" tuner DVR from Chicago seeking a placeshifting companion to fill the empty void that is my S-video jack. I'm a well-aged Replay TV unit, 7-years old, and a lovely shade of dark gray. Don't let my age fool you! I know I'm a little older and slower than younger DVRs, but I can still get up and running in 10 seconds flat! I reside in a clean, high-tech neigborhood complete with a big screen TV and surround system, so there's plenty of other folks...

Find the line that says Code: set delete_td "$delete_td [td [html_link "/asx/$fsid.asx" "View"]]" change it to say Code: set delete_td "$delete_td [td [html_link tivo://192.168.1.106/$fsid "View"]]" change the ip to your tivo's ip (duh) lastly edit tivoweb.cfg to say TyShowLinks = 1. restart tivowebplus.
