About 4%...and seeing as how the home market is (according to IDC and Intel) less than 10%, and apple is not used in business, that means that almost HALF OF ALL home PC's are Apples.

Keep on dreaming.]]>Feb 25th 2007 7:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/25/tivo-desktop-2-4-public-beta-loosed-enables-pc-to-tivo-transcod/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/25/tivo-desktop-2-4-public-beta-loosed-enables-pc-to-tivo-transcod/http://www.tivotool.com/ I have a Hughes HDVR2 with a Linksys-USB200M that's connected to an AirPort express. Tivo Tool transcodes seamlessly while pulling the file over onto the mac into either MPEG 2, DIVX, MPEG 4 or even the Raw .ty format. Also tivotool incorporates mplayer which allows you to watch (stream) movies from your Tivo so you don't even have to download them first, you only need vserver running on your Tivo.

I really don't see why I would buy the Tivo desktop software when there is a free solution out there for the Mac....]]>Feb 25th 2007 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/25/tivo-desktop-2-4-public-beta-loosed-enables-pc-to-tivo-transcod/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/25/tivo-desktop-2-4-public-beta-loosed-enables-pc-to-tivo-transcod/
But anyways, this looks cool and might be a nice way to get video onto the tv. Tivo is still far, far away from a complete media setup, though. I think that consoles (read: PS3,Xbox360) are a good step in the right direction, and I'm not sure what the future holds, but I don't think tivo is gonna be a part of it if they keep charging for things like this that really have limited functionality. I think the 360 might be the best answer right now, I know there's no HDMI, but with vista, it's pretty good. The vista Media center is much better implemented than XP's was, and I think that a combo of a computer to act as a server and some sort of device that it communicates with is going to be the solution. However, Tivo is not going to be it; it just isn't the right kind of hardware, especially since a computer could replace it with the right type of software. just my 2 cents.]]>Feb 26th 2007 3:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/25/tivo-desktop-2-4-public-beta-loosed-enables-pc-to-tivo-transcod/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/25/tivo-desktop-2-4-public-beta-loosed-enables-pc-to-tivo-transcod/http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=187185&release_id=488611]]>Feb 26th 2007 3:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/25/tivo-desktop-2-4-public-beta-loosed-enables-pc-to-tivo-transcod/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/25/tivo-desktop-2-4-public-beta-loosed-enables-pc-to-tivo-transcod/Feb 26th 2007 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/25/tivo-desktop-2-4-public-beta-loosed-enables-pc-to-tivo-transcod/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/25/tivo-desktop-2-4-public-beta-loosed-enables-pc-to-tivo-transcod/

Actually Macs are used in business, I'm a graphic designer and more 2/3 of the jobs I've had I used Macs at work, and at my current job most of the web developers use Macs as well.]]>Feb 26th 2007 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/25/tivo-desktop-2-4-public-beta-loosed-enables-pc-to-tivo-transcod/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/25/tivo-desktop-2-4-public-beta-loosed-enables-pc-to-tivo-transcod/
Why complicate something that's valued for its simplicity?]]>Feb 26th 2007 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/25/tivo-desktop-2-4-public-beta-loosed-enables-pc-to-tivo-transcod/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/25/tivo-desktop-2-4-public-beta-loosed-enables-pc-to-tivo-transcod/ TivoTool works great to get it out of your Tivo into your Mac. To get it back, just use one of several available converters to stick the video in h.264 format right into iTunes for viewing with your soon to arrive appleTV!
