But, if it's all you have, you are correct that pyTivo will most certainly do the job if you have a computer fast enough to do the transcoding.

I'm relatively new to the game, so I don't know what it used to be like. I just installed the PyTivoX image on my Mac and it just worked, right out of the box. Okay, the "transfer" option insisted on downcoding everything from HD to SD, but the streaming option seems to work fine. Maybe it helps that I've got a top-end Mac Pro...
