Tivo Tricks

I gotta post this cause I'm prepping vids for a long trip.

This replaces the old Tivo Desktop for Mac. You can size the output files for your needs AND strip commercials. How cool is that?!?!

I also use pytivo on my Mac.

pytivo.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/PyTivo

That allows my Mac to be a server to my Tivo. Then I can watch the vids on my Tivo instead of my Mac.

Thanks oldskool. Love my roamio and looking forward to using even more of this stuff with it.

Awesome. I figure my Tivo fans (loyal as we are) would appreciate this.

The encoding is pretty good on my iMac 5K retina. I haven't really checked to see that the commercials are properly stripped, not sure how it's marked to determine that.
