Trains, planes, and automobiles: Now TiVo recordings can travel in your pocket...
Carry around your favourite shows and movies on your portable device!
TiVo is hitting the road with the new TiVo Desktop Plus feature that enables conversion of TiVo recordings for use with your compatible portable device. You can save space on your PC's or Mac's hard drive by setting up an automatic conversion: go to File > Preferences and then the Portable Devices tab. Select "Convert for my..." and then tick the "Delete the original transferred file after conversion" box. Converted files are a fraction of the size with the added ability of being used by a portable device.
