Basically, instead of using the CPU to transcode video from one format to the other; it uses the GPU (X1XX series only). The Extremetech article posts impressive results even in early beta. And you know Nvidia has got something going.

I know this has all been said before and I don't mean to sound so anti-TiVo. I love that they've brought DVRs into mainstream use. I also love my iPod but I don't think I'll be watching too much video on it.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/21/tivotogo-officially-supports-psp-and-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/21/tivotogo-officially-supports-psp-and-ipod/Dec 19th 2005 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/21/tivotogo-officially-supports-psp-and-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/21/tivotogo-officially-supports-psp-and-ipod/

And though I do not edit the content of my files (I prefer having the commercials remain) the best thing is that video I extract doesn't have the restrictions of TiVo2go files and can be appropriated and shared as I please.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/21/tivotogo-officially-supports-psp-and-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/21/tivotogo-officially-supports-psp-and-ipod/
1) I wonder what is the percentage of Windows based iPods compared to Mac based iPods? I'm just curious because this would be pretty cool if it's easy to do.

2) The press release says that the Tivo needs to be connected to a computer but how many computers are within reach of the Tivo box? This sounds like a pain to connect the two unless there is a wireless solution. I home office and I've got the PowerBook in the office but no Tivo in there since I don't watch TV in the office and I don't have my computer set up in the living room next to my TV.

3) The whole video iPod/video podcast and Tivo2Go concept is going to get pushed pretty hard by the next gen of live TV on 3G cellphones. This is coming pretty fast when you consider that Sprint is talking about nationwide WiMax, partnering with cable companies for content and already offering a limited selection of live TV via cellphones. The last mile to the house for internet, TV and voice looks to me to be wireless via wireless companies like Sprint, etc... in the not too distant future.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/21/tivotogo-officially-supports-psp-and-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/21/tivotogo-officially-supports-psp-and-ipod/Dec 19th 2005 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/21/tivotogo-officially-supports-psp-and-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/21/tivotogo-officially-supports-psp-and-ipod/Dec 19th 2005 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/21/tivotogo-officially-supports-psp-and-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/21/tivotogo-officially-supports-psp-and-ipod/
As for the 2-hour transfer time: if something isn't recorded natively in the proper format, it's always going to take time to put it right. This doesn't sound like anything that doesn't already happen when people want to transfer their programs to portable format.

I think we can expect some 3rd generation products from Tivo pretty soon (with ethernet) and it wouldn't surprise me at all if Apple and Tivo worked out some deals for iTunes video downloads on Tivo. That'd be a match made in heaven for Tivo and Apple. So much so I wonder if Apple wouldn't even be thinking of buying Tivo...]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/21/tivotogo-officially-supports-psp-and-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/21/tivotogo-officially-supports-psp-and-ipod/
please license/buy/integrate/plugin the locationfree protocol to your box (thus saving your $ and us from having to waste time transfering video to begin with). im sure this can be done, im sure many of us would glady pay a few extra $ for the super cool feature ...

thanks for listening.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/21/tivotogo-officially-supports-psp-and-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/21/tivotogo-officially-supports-psp-and-ipod/
via your connected PC"

How can it be "direct" if you need a PC in the middle? I'm not saying that "direct" is actually technically feasible to begin with, but it sounds misleading to say that when there's nothing direct about it. As a previous commenter pointed out, trying to swing your TV into the picture when it's probably nowhere near the TiVo in the first place will be a big pain.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/21/tivotogo-officially-supports-psp-and-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/21/tivotogo-officially-supports-psp-and-ipod/

It's amazing how people can take a free feature and try to make it into a negative. Oy.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:06AM
