Big John… can you give more info on that? I’m having trouble with TDM downloads restarting over and over also on a clean Leopard install.

But I’m totally new to TDM so I’m not sure what you mean.

Let’s see, TDM was broke for me until I did a Leopard clean-install. Could’ve been the Leopard, could’ve been the clean.

Now it works, somewhat, you still have to move the file out of it’s original locale (it’s ok) to a different spot or else it’ll restart and keep restarting (the file download that is). I never really used TTG because of the low-res issue.

An insider at TiVo told me “there would be NO fixes until after the holidays”.
Merry Christmas…

Dave, not clear if you mean you haven’t run TTG since getting your S3’s, but I’m doing both multiroom and TTG between a Tivo HD and a DT and a Windows XP system and it all works fine. Haven’t tried transferring HD content to the PC or another Tivo yet (don’t have another HD box), so can’t comment on that.

Nice to know TiVo screwed over Mac users AGAIN!

I wish they’d get their act together.

I have been very disappointed in Roxio’s Popcorn 3. I am using TiVoDecode manager now and it works much better! Plus it’s free! Sad to say but Popcorn 3 was a total waste of money.

Dave,
Roxio released a beta version of Popcorn which seems to have fixed all of the issues I was having with 9.2 and Leopard.

It’s been awhile since I’ve messed with it, but you can turn on the hidden TiVoBack in the Mac TiVo Desktop software. You should be able to rip DVDs with something like Handbrake, not sure if additional conversion or what settings might be needed though to get a successful transfer.
