That is exactly what I was hoping TiVo would make to go along with their software. I tried it last night and it worked pretty smoothly. Although this morning the TiVo didn't see the TiVo.net server anymore. Hopefully Pipkin will keep up on the improvements. @Chris Mas:

The only files that show up in My TiVo Recordings are MPG. Would also be nice if it recognized my desire to keep things in folders. But ultimately, it's a great step in the right direction!

When I'm back home next week, I'll fire it up. Thanks Chris, I’ve been meaning to check it out and haven’t stayed on top of it like I should have. When I’m back home next week, I’ll fire it up.

Additionally, I didn't want to confuse the issue (or myself) by bringing up the various hacks for moving content on/off Series2 units. Anyone thinking of heavily using a TiVo as a media extender should check out <a rel="nofollow" href="http://galleon.tv/" rel="nofollow">Galleon</a>. Though it's no longer being developed, it's still quite powerful and useful. I limited my focus to moving media *to* the TiVo, rather than also exploring the various methods to get content off.
