TiVo to Transfer Shows to iPods, Sony PSP – New York Times. This is exciting news for me. I already go to the trouble of converting files over to my PSP. I’d like to get a video iPod someday too. I think transferability is the killer app for any DVR. I’m not sure why it took Tivo so long to do it when all the others had been for a while. Maybe I’m just one of those weird people that don’t have time to watch TV in front of my TV. I like my media to be mobile. Since they still don’t have “Tivo To Go” software available for the Mac, I’ll continue to use my very faithful eyetv instead. It’s a great product for getting the TV and video on to my machine and other devices. I just wish it had a good 10 foot UI and a better remote. Because it doesn’t I still love my Tivo.

yep. you’re weird. why don’t you want to sit on your couch and watch tv like normal people? oh wait, maybe it’s the couch.
i’m going to have to disagree with you on transferability being the killer app. i think the killer app for tivo would be if it could go back in time and get shows i missed. ok, not go back in time, but let’s say that today i realized that i missed the first 20 minutes of last night’s extreme makeover home edition (omg – that really happened to me!) and tivo could give it to me. that would be cool. transferability is cool, too, but i am not convinced that it is the killer app.
