Think Different About TiVo
Once again, I am happy that I chose ReplayTV over TiVo when I was shopping for a PVR. PVRblog reports that TiVo is not planning on releasing a Mac-compatible TiVo-to-go solution and the new Microsoft-based proprietary DRM will interfere with all the old methods for grabbing your video off of your TiVo box. PVRblog notes: "The bummer is that of all the TiVo owners I know, at least half of them use macs, and now that TiVo has closed the DRM holes
in their latest version, those mac owners can't legitimately play back shows on their own computers, in their own homes using the old method.
A sad day for mac and tivo enthusiasts everywhere."
I wonder how Apple now feels about having sold TiVo boxes in Apple Retail Stores. For all of you TiVo / Mac users out there, gnashing your teeth and cursing TiVo, I advise that you sell on ebay and look into buying ReplayTV.
