Kmttg, Does it always have to download a .tivo, or can I just download a .mpg/.mp4 without downloading .tivo also ? I am wondering if it isn't sophisticated enough to convert it in-stream and converts from the .tivo file to mpg or whatever after the download. I have searched for an option where it doesn't download .tivo but can't see one in the convoluted mess of an interface (So much for User Interface Designing after all these years.) Thanks for you time !!!
