TiVo to Transfer Shows to iPods, Sony PSP – New York Times

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.
