My only complaint with Tivo To Go is that my Widescreen HD videos look stretched vertically on my video ipod. Is there a way to encode letterbox on the video? Or is it time for me to upgrade to an ipod touch?]]>Nov 9th 2007 12:02PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/09/hands-on-with-hd-tivotogo-and-multi-room-viewing/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/09/hands-on-with-hd-tivotogo-and-multi-room-viewing/Nov 9th 2007 12:17PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/09/hands-on-with-hd-tivotogo-and-multi-room-viewing/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/09/hands-on-with-hd-tivotogo-and-multi-room-viewing/
From what I recall, the need to transcode depends on the quality setting you are using for analog channels on the S2/S3. My understanding is that shows will transfer without any transcoding (conversion) -- hence much faster -- when you use a certain quality setting for analog channels. I don't recall what that is.]]>Nov 9th 2007 12:29PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/09/hands-on-with-hd-tivotogo-and-multi-room-viewing/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/09/hands-on-with-hd-tivotogo-and-multi-room-viewing/ My only complaint with Tivo To Go is that my Widescreen HD videos look

Yes, there is. Instructions to fix that are found in the TCF MRV/TTG FAQ below:

I've been using this feature for a few weeks now and the S2's do NOT see the TivoHD - only the TiVoHD sees the S2's so unless something changes you can only migrate 'up' and not 'down' with your TiVo's. I have 2 S2's and one TiVoHD and the S2's see each other and my TiVoHD sees both S2's but that's it.]]>Nov 9th 2007 1:15PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/09/hands-on-with-hd-tivotogo-and-multi-room-viewing/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/09/hands-on-with-hd-tivotogo-and-multi-room-viewing/
The speed between the two is very fast. The TiVo HD is wired and my S2 is wireless when doing a transfer I can start watching instantly. By the time I get to the first comercial I can fast forward with no lag or buffer problems. Its like watching it on the orginal machine. ]]>Nov 9th 2007 10:20PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/09/hands-on-with-hd-tivotogo-and-multi-room-viewing/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/11/09/hands-on-with-hd-tivotogo-and-multi-room-viewing/
I think you have to have the tivo server running from the desktop.

Or did you mean that you couldn't transfer *new* shows to the tivo?
