We've had a Series 2 Tivo for several years now and love the convenience. However, my wife recently got a iPod video and would like to watch some of the recordings on that.
I know I can (and I have) transfer the video to a PC and convert it to iPod format, but I can't do it on my Mac. So, I am looking at possible alternatives that would simplify the whole iPod process and possibly replace the Tivo when it eventually dies (and with all the new software "updates" that Tivo has been releasing that just seem to make the system slower and slower, I think that may happen sooner than later).
Any suggestions from people who have successfully augmented or replaced the Tivo in this way?
I've seen a lot of posts on EyeTV (with EyeTV hardware or 3rd party hardware) for recording - how about playback on the TV? Is there anything besides the Eyehome? Should I wait for Apple's soon to be released and renamed iTV?
Thanks!
