Neat, podcasting on TiVo – I hope it will download more content based on traffic conditions, then you sync that to your music player. David Zatz says “TiVo is beefing up their HME offerings by centrally hosting applications and partnering with Yahoo! Yahoo! weather, traffic, and photos are available by entering your account info on the TiVo box. Also being tested are Internet radio (Live365), the podcaster application I previewed at Digital Life, Fandango movie tickets, and some various games. TiVo’s beta is scheduled to continue testing into early 2006.” [via] Link.

So we created TivoTool which already has video iPod support – all you need is a hacked tivo and a macintosh (well, and a video iPod.)”Link.
Pretty significant news – TiVo on your iPod – “TiVo Inc. is expanding its video recording service so users will be able to transfer recorded TV shows onto Apple Computer’s iPods, according to an Associated Press report.
