TiVo, the company that has become pretty much synonymous with the idea of the digital video recorder plans to create a PC version of the software it uses on set top boxes.Filed under: Video, Hardware, Troubleshooting
The only thing worse than not owning a TiVo digital video recorder is owning a TiVo unit but not being able to use it the way you want. TiVo fans were disappointed to discover recently that the TiVo Desktop software which allows users to transfer recorded shows to a computer via a wireless network doesn't work with Windows Vista. Although the company claims they are releasing a Vista-compatible version "very soon," for hardcore TiVo users it's not soon enough. Fortunately there are a couple of things you can try that might make the wait a little easier.Filed under: Internet, Web services
TiVo lovers rejoice, the partnership between your favorite DVR and Amazon just got a little sweeter. Amazon announced today that TiVo users can buy or rent movies and tv episodes directly from their TiVo unit without having to get off the couch. Although TiVo subscribers have been able to access the database of over 1 million movies for months at Amazon's Website, now you can simply browse and purchase our selections using your TiVo remote control. No need to strain yourself by turning on your computer.
Late last year TiVo announced a partnership with One True Media that would allow customers to share content from their TiVo boxes with other TiVo users. Want to show the home movies to grandma without lugging the tape all the way over to her house? TiVo's got you covered.

It's kind of funny that Mac and Windows users now both have officially supported programs to download recordings from their TiVo onto their computers, but Linux users don't. Why's that funny? Because TiVo runs on a version of Linux. Go figure.Filed under: Video, Macintosh, Commercial

Over at PVR Wire, Brad Linder reports that the DRM for TiVo's TiVoToGo has been cracked, allowing video recorded on your TiVo to be decoded and viewed on any device. TiVo File Decoder is available from SourceForge, the gritty details of the DRM scheme have been documented at the Alt.org wiki, and naturally the source code is available, too. This will undoubtedly please Mac and Linux-using TiVo owners whose computers have thus far been absent of official TiVo software, not to mention those who don't think they should have to buy TV shows for viewing on their iPods when they're already paying $50 a month for cable plus TiVo's monthly fees.
PRV Wire's Chris Tew has written an interesting editorial in which he argues that "There is one company that Google, Microsoft or Yahoo could acquire to ensure they will be well placed on the living room TV, and that company is TiVo." Chris rules out Microsoft because they've already got their foot in your living room with Windows Media Center and because TiVo runs on Linux. Yahoo! and TiVo already have a partnership and YHOO has a history of big acquisitions. "Securing its services on TiVo," says Chris, "could give Yahoo an advantage it desperately needs" over Google. Google, of course, is also a big spender, and would love to get its ads into the living room.Filed under: Internet, Video, Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Open Source

TiVos are smart little pieces of hardware, but by design can only play TiVo-encoded video files, which is a shame. But if you've ever wanted to do more with your TiVo, you can. Will O'Brien over at our sister site Engadget has penned a great how-to on making your TiVo serve up video files from any networked computer. The keystone of the tutorial is TivoServer, open source software that masquerades as a TiVo and even re-encodes your videos to a TiVo-friendly format on the fly. TivoServer is made for Linux, but will also run on Mac OS X or Windows under Cygwin.
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
