TiVo Desktop 2.4 is now out of public beta. TiVo’s download page doesn’t list what has changed so I can only assume that this release contains mainly bug fixes.
According to the system requirements, this version does not support Vista.
System Requirements:
- A Personal computer running Microsoft® Windows® XP, Service Pack 2. TiVo Desktop does not yet work with Windows Vista.
- 500 megahertz processor
- 256 MB RAM
- 5 GB free disk space
- TiVoToGo and Web video downloads are not yet available for Series3.
See the Read Me file in the Start Menu after installation for more information.
I’m kind of surprised that TiVo would release TiVo desktop 2.4 without support for Vista. After all, you can hardly buy a machine now a days with Windows XP installed on it. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see another release in the next couple of days that supports Vista. Stay tuned for any updates…
Spotted on ZNF.
