Transferring to your PC or Mac
It's easy to transfer recorded TV shows from your TiVo Premiere to your PC or Mac. Before
you begin, make sure that you have TiVo Desktop software installed, and that your TiVo
Premiere is connected to your home network. TiVo Desktop is available for free from
tivo.com/desktop.
To transfer a show to your home computer:
1. Install and launch TiVo Desktop.
If you have more than one TiVo Premiere or other TiVo box in your home network, their
names appear in a list. Select the one that has the recording you want to transfer.
2. Click 'Pick Recordings to Transfer.' A window showing your TiVo Premiere's My Shows
or Now Playing list appears.
3. Check the box next to the title of the show (or shows) you want to transfer, then click 'Start
Transfer.'
To watch a show after you've transferred it, select any title from the My Shows or Now Playing
list on TiVo Desktop (even one that's still transferring) and click Play. Your computer's default
media player starts automatically. (Refer to your media player's instructions for more about
playing recordings.)
Transferring to a portable device
You can transfer shows from your TiVo Premiere to your iPod, PSP, or other portable device
using your PC.
