Thanks to David & Michael, I just went ahead and placed an order for a DVR Expander from TiVo’s dieing rewards program. After I added the DVR Expander to my cart I ended up having 6500 points to spare so, I went ahead and ordered a couple of items which I will be giving away on this site…..

Thanks again Dave and Mike. Your generosity is really appreciated!

GizmoLovers.com is hosting a contest for a TiVo HD! If you want to be entered into the contest you better hurry because the giveaway ends at midnight on April 18th. Additional rules and information can be found on GizmoLovers.com….

Update 4/15 @ 8:47PM: Thanks for the referral Michael.  Now I’m only one referral away from getting a DVR expander!

Thanks to an individual by the name of Rodney, I’m now only two referrals away from getting a My DVR Expander. I normally don’t beg for points however, I really would love to get one of these drives and with the program ending soon I don’t have a lot of time. If anybody has a referral that they would like to send my way I would really appreciate it….

Being the geek that I am, I’m constantly looking for new video podcasts that I can watch on my TiVo & iPod touch. Here’s a list of the video podcasts that I currently subscribe to. Let me know if I’m missing something that I should add to my list…

• dl.tv
• GeekBrief.TV
• Howcast Technology
• iLifeZone
• LabRats.TV
• Mac MediaCast
• MacBreak (video)
• ScreenCastsOnline

GizmoLovers.com has alerted me to the fact that TiVo recently released TiVo Desktop 2.6.1. According to TiVoPony, 2.6.1 includes an improved recovery mechanism for when PC to TiVo video transfers get interrupted:

It has improved recovery from interrupted transfers between the PC and DVR, but it also provides an updated Windows Certificate for TiVo Desktop. The certificate used in prior versions of TiVo Desktop is about to expire, so you’ll want to get 2.6.1. Without this certificate update it will not be possible to manually transfer programs from your PC to your TiVo DVR (all other Desktop functionality should continue to work fine however).

I know I haven’t said a whole lot about 2.6 however, I’ve been extremely happy with 2.6 and the fact that it allows me to watch my most favorite video podcasts directly on my TV. I plan on posting up a complete review of TiVo Desktop 2.6 sometime in the near future. In the meantime, you might want to go ahead and download 2.6.1. I know I’m going to….

Unless you’re a geek like me, you probably didn’t know that TiVo.com has a section on their website where you can download wallpaper for your computer. My personal favorite is this one however, I also think this one is kind of neat. Go ahead and decorate your computer with some TiVo wallpaper. After all, what else do you have to do?

American Idol, The Office and Yankees Baseball are at the top of my season pass list.  What’s at the top of your season pass list?

I finally got around to setting up my brand new TiVo HD which I received via the rewards program. I currently have it connected to a standard def TV however, I plan on getting an HDTV for the back room sometime in the near future. Here’s some pictures that I took during the unboxing process…
