TiVo, Inc. announced today that it plans to support the video iPod and the Sony PSP in an upcoming update to TiVoToGo.
TiVoToGo lets Windows users copy their TV shows onto their computers and portable devices. The company promised a MAC version which is in the works according to the TiVo’s VP of Product Marketing Jim Denney.
Right now, there are numerous shareware, freeware, and commercial utilities for both Mac OS X and Windows that aid users in the conversion and transfer of video to the iPod or the PSP, but TiVo wants to make the process seamless — preferably to simply plug in a device, copy the files over, and watch them at your leisure.
The company also offers a TiVo Desktop software application for Mac and Windows. The software enables users to publish and share digital music, photos, and TiVo recordings between their computers and a networked TiVo Series2 DVR.
Both Mac and Windows versions of TiVo Desktop software are available, though Mac-using TiVo subscribers have noted that the Mac software has languished. In fact, the currently available version — TiVo Desktop for Mac v1.9.1 — is not compatible with Mac OS X v10.4 “Tiger.”
