IP Democracy: Tivo Enables PC to TV Transfer of Videos

A little-noticed capability in the beta 7.2 version of Tivo’s software allows customers to transfer videos downloaded from the Internet to the Tivo connected to the TV set. Users need to download the videos into a special folder on their PC, and can call these up on the Tivo device using the “Now Playing” button at the bottom of the screen.

A very intriguing development given how much work all the media industries have devoted to bridging the divide between the PC and the TV. (Courtesy of PVR Blog).
