TiVo recently released a desktop program which lets you transfer programs to your personal computer so that you can then burn them to DVD, making TiVo copy DVD an exciting new innovation.
The bonus with burning TiVo copy DVD is that you and your family can then build a library of your favorite television programs to watch at any time, day or night. This means that your children can watch Sesame Street when they are sick in bed, while you watch your normal programs on TiVo. Plus, they can watch their favorite episode over-and-over without any interruption.
“According to Knowledge Networks approximately 4% of homes who have a television said that they owned a DVR, such as TiVo. This number has reportedly grown by up to 50% over the last 6 months, and is expected to continue to increase as direct television becomes a global concept, and more people subscribe to the service.”
To burn TiVo programs to DVD visit the TiVo customer support, knowledge base, and locate the TiVo desktop software, which will then allow you to transfer TiVo television programs to your personal computer.
Once downloaded and installed to your personal computer your TiVo will then provide you with a list of programs that is able to be transferred to your personal computer when it is connected to your home network.
After the television programs you wish to burn to DVD have been transferred to your personal computer you can then save these files and burn a TiVo copy DVD from your personal computer.
Your TiVo copy DVD can then be played on your Windows Media Player on your personal computer or your DVD player, whenever you choose.
