TivoToGo Up and Running

Tivo launched TivoToGo today, which lets Tivo users transfer their shows onto PCs or laptops for "on the go" viewing. In the future, the company plans to offer viewing on other gadgets like perhaps a video iPod or PDA/smartphones. The feature will be automatically installed on stand-alone Series 2 recorders. It will not work on Direct TV Tivo boxes and Series 1 recorders. Moreover there are restrictions on Pay Per View and video on demand content.
