Tivo to Allow Downloading to iPod and Sony PSP

Tivo is working on software to allow its users to copy their TV programs on their Tivo onto video iPods and Sony PSPs. If they can do this with an easy to use end-to-end experience, it will be a home-run.

TiVo Inc. on Monday said it will begin testing a feature in the coming weeks to let some subscribers transfer recorded television programming to Apple iPod digital music players or Sony's PlayStation portable devices, sending the company's shares up 4.5 percent.
