Trasfering from Tivo to PC

[boritz]

... Is there anyway i can transfer from my tivo back to the pc now? ...

Yes.

I was using the following method in preference to TiVo Desktop long before support was dropped. It was quicker and more reliable.

You can log in to your TiVo using a web browser (Explorer/Firefox/Safari/Chrome etc) to transfer recordings.

1) Get your TiVo Media Access Key (MAK) number by going to TiVo Central > Messages & Settings > Account & System Information > Media Access Key.

2) Get the current IP address of your TiVo by going to TiVo Central > Messages & Settings > Settings > Network and note the IP Address listed under "Network connection details" - OR - check your router's list of "Attached Devices".

3) Launch a web browser and enter the TiVo address https://x.x.x.x/ where 'x.x.x.x' is the IP address of your TiVo. You will be then asked to enter a username and password. The username is tivo and the password is the MAK number. This will load the TiVo's x.x.x.x/nowplaying/index.html webpage. Note: if your browser warns that the connection is unsafe or not secure choose to proceed anyway (it is safe but the TiVo credentials are out-of-date).

4) After loading this page you should see a list of recorded folders and/or programs currently stored on the TiVo. You can download these to your computer using the Links column on the far right-hand side of the screen. Note: choose the "Download MPEG-TS" option, the MPEG-PS formats were sometimes troublesome.
