I agree with most of what is in there. I would love to see them add support to allow for a usb or wireless keyboard. Would alleviate a lot of the issues with the peanut remote and progamming seasons passes.

Ads in Sesame Street? Really? I mean, REALLY!?!
- Steve Lacy
does it go away immediately after unpausing? I'd be OK as long as nothing pops up while I am busy watching
- Josh Haley
If you hit the clear button the ad goes away. Personally, I don't think it's really all that big of a deal. If someone is that opposed to advertisements, they're probably using something like Snapstream instead which automatically strips out the commercials.

Hey Josh! TWP? Is that even up to date? Nothing against it, but AFAIK, you can do what it can, and then some with the standard Tivo now.. or what about Galleon (http://galleon.sourceforge.net/)? If you aren't going full out tivo, why not build a standalone media server instead?
- Tim Hoeck
Just started looking at XBMC. Trying to see if I can pull it off with existing hardware lying around. :D
- Josh Haley
You can pull OTA HD shows *off* a TiVoHD, but I'm not sure you can put them on, although I think Galleon might be able to accomplish this. It's not going to be streaming, I think it will work. Only Series3 units support h.264 video codecs. Series1/2 units are more hackable, but only MPEG-2, so it sorta sucks.
- Steve Lacy
I've had content streaming TO my series2 directv tivo using tivoserver before, but lately it just won't see it on the network. It uses a PC and makes it pretend to be another tivo on the network so you can use MRV. But yeah, it's mpeg-3, but then I don't have an HDTV in the house yet anyway.
- Josh Haley
Josh, I love my Tivo.. but when it comes to streaming content, I have a seperate media server (Running XBMC)... I don't think any Tivo server will compete.. :)
- Tim Hoeck
Hey Tim, I was just messing with the xbmc software for the past couple of days and love it. Did you build a special box or are you using an old xbox? I am ALL over this, for sure!
- Josh Haley
I am using my old PC :) Works pretty decent, although I am having some odd connectivity issues to my Win7 desktop (which stores the media). I never had problems before though, so it's my wireless or Win7.. XBMC is great.
- Tim Hoeck
Sweet! So Tim...can you help me find some scripts? I would like to at least have the youtube one, but I can't seem to locate a windows version of one online, only xbox. Plus, any other tips you have would be most excellent!

- Ken Morley
this is probably the most positive thing I've heard coming from TiVo in a long time. Anyone know if/when they will do HD Netflix like the XBox 360?
- Thomas Hawk
The webcast of the presentation will be available on the Investor Relations section of the TiVo website at http://investor.tivo.com under the events calendar tab
