Cool little trick

So with our switch to Comcast Digital voice our Tivo lost the phone line connection. So I had to scramble a little bit to get the wireless connection going again. Which actually went quite smoothly.

So this morning I thought I would play with the Transfer show feature to transfer the recorded shows from the Tivo box to my PC. And it worked quite well. The quality is pretty decent. So now I will have the entire season of Clone Wars on the PC so it can be viewed there using Windows Media Player.

The coolest part of this is that if James wants to watch those now, but we want to watch TV at the same time I can just set him up on the PC downstairs and voila! I imagine I could put the .wmv files on a CD as well so he could watch them on another PC, and if I was clever I could figure out a way to transfer them to a format so they could be viewed through a DVD player. Something to investigate.
