Just downloaded and tried it out. It's only recorded shows or shows that are currently being recorded. It's not bad though. Looks like everything is live on this now.

Technically, it's much easier to stream recorded content and that is all the web site currently says. MZ says it's live or recorded, but I'm not sure where he learned that.

Dave, do you know for a fact that they won't support streaming live? Cuz that would be the most obvious application... Even if they don't intend for you to capture and convert it for an iPod, once its on the PC... Like you say, its not the equivalent of the Tivo features, which allow me to backup and restore shows on the PC, convert shows for my iPod automatically, etc. And even edit them since there are programs that handle the .Tivo format... But hey, its a start. If the cable companies feel some pressure from this to start offering PC/iPod integration, all the better. Well, its easy to bitch, but hey its a start.

But having said that, obviously it would be 50x better if you could download the shows to your pc instead of streaming them...

I often work from my balcony and have a small Slingbox or EyeTV window up on the laptop to watch my 401k plummet. Ivan, if it were live it might be more appealing.
