    I was able to sucessfully download a TiVo program from my Series 2 TiVo to my Mac. My problem is that I can not view it. I've had no luck using Quicktime, MPlayer, or VLC. According to their web page, Windows XP users can download and burn a show to a DVD. Is there a Mac solution?

    Tivo uses a windows dependant DirectShow filter to display their files. Unless you learn how to stream froma tyserver on your series 2 and set up tytools, then you need at least a copy of Virtual PC and a program called DirectShow Dump. That resulting file can be viewed bt VLC, but curiously not by Quicktime.

    The Windows app DirectShow Dump works well. Thanks for the info.

    Does anyone know of a Mac version of directshow dump. I use it now and it works, but what a pain to transfer from Tivo to PC then PC to Mac...
