I know I’m a little late to report this but I guess it’s better late than never…

DVRupgrade and Neuros have partnered up to offer $3500 if you can get your TiVo to talk with a Neuros OSD. A post over at the DVRupgrade forums provides more information:

People love the TiVo DVR for its robust program guide and related features, and people love the OSD for the portability of its recordings. So, we’ve come up with a bounty for a project that combines the best of both devices. Namely for the OSD to piggyback on the TiVo’s recording schedule and make portable MPEG-4 recordings of those shows that you choose. It’s essentially like having TiVo simultaneously record onto a portable device at the same time that its recording to it’s hard drive. With no file transfer or conversion, you could have all your favorite shows automatically on your laptop, iPod, iPhone, Blackberry or whatever portable device you prefer. Ultimately, this functionality would be perfect for commuters, road-warriors or anyone that spends their days on the go.

Along with this bounty, DVRupgrade is also offering $30 off the OSD if you use the following coupon code: HACK-THE-NEUROS-1207.

Thanks for dropping me an email Dave.
