Using TIVO as a Media Player

[jamesljm]

I am wondering if it is possible to use a TIVO as a Media Player. I have Mpegs on my PC which would look a lot better on my TV and would like to copy them to the TIVO to play them

Is this possible and if so how can I do it?

Thanks

Yip it's possible, you can use nanVue nanVue provides the following features:

• Uploading & downloading of TiVo recordings
• Convert to and from most video formats (including DivX, XviD, mpeg, rm, TiVo .ty, etc)
• Download and convert Google & YouTube video's
• Rip and convert DVD's
• Multiple conversion profiles with auto profile assignment
• Convert web pages into images
• Automatically letterbox videos (including adding padding for overscan)
• Image conversion and resizing
• Drag & drop support for files and url's
• Monitor directories for new videos
• Schedule the times when encoding & transfers are performed
• Perform pre & post processing on selected files
• Act as a web server (with support for PHP 5)
• and much more ...

Otherwise get a cheap xbox with a remote and mod it. XBox Media Centre (XBMC) is very cool.
