Outstanding tip. Worked out great for me. I have dumped comcrap for a while, and I am living off of podcasts and such. This really helps. Thank you!!

Great tip – thanks!

I manage all of my video and audio subscriptions using the web-based mefeedia.com. 280+ subscriptions. I was there was just a way to point the TiVO to the URL:

I have it go off on its way and have these accessible on my TiVo!

Glenn, you could just create shortcuts to video podcasts only. If you do that, you won’t have any audio podcasts (assuming the video podcasts that you’ve subscribed to don’t publish audio files). Also, younmight want to look
into the settings that iTunes provides. I have iTunes only keep the latest podcast for all of the podcasts that u subscribe to.

Great tip, thanks!

The only obvious glitch with this is that I subscribe to a significant number of podcasts, and I wonder if all of them will show up when I do this? I don’t think that iTunes allows me to specify separate folders for video vs. audio podcasts, and populating my Tivo folder with a LOT of stuff which I have to page through, often slowly, to allow me to occasionally watch a video podcast, might not improve my life much. Much better if I could somehow limit the podcasts that show up just to video podcasts, or even just to certain video podcasts… I wonder if there is a way to do that…

Minor nitpick: You say there are 29 TiVoCast channels — but actually we have 30 partners with 41 channels. Don’t forget that some of the partners listed have sub-channels (5 for Weather Channel, 4 for The New York Times, and 5 for PodshowTV).

Thanks for pointing that out Stephen. I’ll update the post…

I found this amazing website it is a WEB 2.0 that supports all media files conversion it is called http://youconvertit.com, they can do the following:
1- Convert document, images, audio, video and Archived files.
2- Convert any Youtube and other Online Video to popular formats or download the video
3- Send file(s) up to 300 MB to friends or post it on any forum for 7 days
4- Convert any type of units (Acceleration, Area, Torque and others)

what makes them amazing is you can add up to 5 different file formats, i used them to convert a document and couple of audio files.

Try them and give me your feedback http://www.youconvertit.com

@Queco Jones,
Doesn’t pyTiVo run on a Mac?

This sounds like exactly what I’ve been looking for except that I use a Mac. Is there any solution available for the Mac (and no, Galleon, however cool it may be, is not what I’m talking about…)?
