TiVo Beta supports podcasting…

Hme5.JpgNeat, 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.

TiVoTool – get video on your iPod for free (Mac/Linux)

Tivo-2-1Rocket writes in regarding our TiVo to iPod post “Notice that this will only work for PC-based iPods, and they mention that “TiVo subscribers will need to purchase special software to tap the features.” What? Pay extra for iPod support? A bunch of us got fed up with Tivo not supporting macintosh for the Tivo to Go. 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.
