Update (11/3 @ 6:04AM):  Roxio has posted a public beta which is supposed to fix the issue mentioned below.  Go here to download it…

Update (10/31 @ 8:24AM): Roxio has done a great job communicating with the community about the issues they’re having with TiVo’s 9.2 software update. Recently, I was given the opportunity to beta test the next version of Popcorn and to my surprise it includes a fix for the double playback issue I was experiencing. Roxio has said that this update should be released shortly so stay tuned if you are having issues with either Toast or Popcorn.

As I alluded to in a previous post, initially I was having a difficult time getting Roxio’s TiVo Transfer app to detect my Series 3 TiVo. After doing some research, I came to the conclusion that TiVo Transfer uses Apple’s Bonjour protocol to discover and list any TiVos on the network. Sure enough, when I fired up iStumbler my Series 3 wasn’t listed as a Bonjour device (DVR-893D is my S2 TiVo).

Like most computer problems (at least on Windows), I decided to reboot my Series 3 to see if that would fix the issue. As soon as the reboot was complete, my Series 3 showed up in both TiVo Transfer and iStumbler’s Bonjour listing (DVR-02A0).

Now I’m able to connect and successfully transfer a show off of my Series 3 TiVo to my Mac (that doesn’t mean everything is working…continue reading).

Unfortunately, I’m still having a problem with any show that I transfer from my Series 3 TiVo. From some reason, any transferred show that I try and watch plays back at twice the normal speed. I took a look at the settings for Roxio’s Toast Video Player however, I wasn’t able to find a setting that could be causing this problem. I’ve seen that other people are having this issue so I guess I’ll wait and see if Roxio comes out with a fix (who knows how long that will take). Until then, I could use TiVoDecodeManager to get content off of my Series 3 however, I just don’t like how TDM works and I would rather get the “official“ Mac TiVoToGo client to work especially since I’ve already paid for it. I’ll be sure to let you know if/when Roxio comes out with a fix….
