TiVo To Go will give TiVo owners with the Home Media package the ability to transfer programs to their PC's for viewing or burning to DVD.
Literally just a few minutes before I found this press release, I ordered the necessary parts to add wireless networking to our DirecTV TiVo, which I intend to use for video extraction. The TiVo hacking community has considered video extraction a taboo subject in cooperative response to TiVo's willingness to continue allowing TiVos to be hackable, so TiVo can maintain a good relationship with the media industry and customers both. Naturally, I have no intention of illegally distributing extracted video. It's nice to see consumer demand for this feature officially met, by both TiVo To Go and the drool-worthy Pioneer TiVo DVD burner.
Funny that this little set of photos of TyStudio in action shows screenshots of Good Eats, which is the first thing we'll be extracting and archiving. Our hard-drive-expanded TiVo is nearly full with every single Good Eats episode ever made.
