Has anyone else heard anything about a change in Tivo that now forbids the Tivodecode programs from accessing the box? I can’t connect to my tivo from my Macbook anymore as of yesterday.

On principle I hate to pay $80 for the Roxio program to get access to functionality that Windows users have for free.

I have Tivo desktop 2.6.1 and my AVI movies files will not play on the TV. Per the information on this web page my version supports transfer and playback of .AVI or .Divx files encoded with the DivX codec (version 4 or higher) or with the Xvid codec. No other video formats are supported within .AVI

I guess my AVI files have not beeen encoded with either of the above codecs. Is anyone aware of a solution to get my TiVo to recognize my AVI files. Or must I convert them to MPG, etc. I’ve discovered when I convert to MP4 the resolution is terrible.

Thanks

I’m not sure about your situation, but my Series 3 definitely did show up in an XP machine running 2.3a and a Vista machine running the older version of Desktop. Same error message, too.
