TiVo NowPlaying, An OS X Dashboard Widget

Posted on Tuesday, December 18, 2007 by MegaZone

Alex at TiVo Blog has a new post up reviewing an Dashboard Widget for OS X – TiVo NowPlaying. I don’t own a Mac, so I can’t comment myself, but it looks like a nice application. It can auto-detect the TiVos on your network via Bonjour or you can enter the IP. And you just need to enter your TiVo MAK (Media Access Key) to allow it to connect. You can get a nice list of the shows on your TiVo’s Now Playing List, and initiate TiVoToGo transfers to the Mac. And transferred shows are automatically stripped of DRM and saved as MPEG-2 via TiVo File Decoder. Check out Alex’s article for more details.
