Not sure why it hasn't worked for you to transfer HD shows back to your Tivo, but I have successfully transfered several HD recordings back to my S3. You did say "back to the Tivo," so I'm assuming you mean stuff that you recorded off the Tivo originally. Tivo says that this is the only HD content that can be transferred to the Tivo. On the other hand, some forum posters are reporting that they have successfully transfered HD MPEG-2 content to their Tivo that was originally recorded with an HD camcorder -- you just have to rename the file to .tivo.
I transferred a Sting concert I'd recorded off HDNET by firewire last year. I don't think I renamed the file. It played more than adequately. It had some moments where it seemed to skip, but my understanding this is what the lastest software versions do if they find frame/sync errors. The biggest problem is you can't just browse the files on your computer and begin playing. You need to plan ahead :)
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
