It’s official. Your standalone TiVo
Series2 is going to let you transfer your recorded television programs to your iPod Video or your Sony PSP.
We previously reported on a hack that would let you transfer TiVo content to your iPod Video. But soon this will be an official feature supported by TiVo. The feature will begin to be tested in the coming weeks.
The files will be watermarked and traceable to originating computers to discourage piracy.
No word on whether we suckers with DirecTV TiVo will be able to take advantage of this. However, so far all signs point to no.

Panasonic in a surprising twist of ingenuity is releasing a TV that allows you to record (MPEG 4) its contents (what’s on TV) to SD card. Just pop-out the SD card and pop it into your favorite PVP, and watch the content on the go. Probably not the best format as SD capacity is limited, but nonetheless provides a sensible step in the right direction with today’s portable media options. The TV will also feature PCMCIA connectivity.
Panasonic will be featuring this new tech in its VIERA line flat panel TV, the 65-inch TH-65PV500. Currently available in Europe, expect to drop about $12,000.

So I was just doing some reading (go figure, a blogger reading) and came across an article stating discontent for Apple’s iTunes Music Store’s $1.99 cost per TV episode. So my mind immediately jumped back to the Dish Network AV700E, a PVP that allowed you to take your recorded content on the road. So of course the natural transition was ‘how do you get your Tivo’s recorded shows on to your iPod Video’. I did a quick Google search and struck gold.
The guys over at Engadget recently acquired this contributor who apparently knows his Tivo stuff cold, and fortunately he has written a detailed article on how to transfer your Tivo shows to your iPod Video. It’s gonna take a little work, not much, but if you are the faint hearted when it comes to technical/software implementation I recommend grabbing your more technically inclined buddy. But for those that like anything tech and can get around an OS fine, you should have no problem. It just requires that you download a video converter and have a networked Tivo.
