Converting Shows for Your Portable Device
Converting Shows for Your Portable Device (PC Users)
Once a program has been transferred to your PC using the TiVo Desktop Plus application
(provided to you at the time of activation of your Home Networking Package; see page 38), you
can also select the program for viewing on selected mobile devices.
With TiVo Desktop Plus software, you can automatically prepare each transferred TiVo
recording for use with a portable video player, either by adding the recording to your media
library or converting it to your player’s preferred video format.
If your portable device syncs with Windows Media Player, see "Transferring TiVo Recordings
to your Windows-Based Device" below.
If your portable device does not sync with Windows Media Player, recordings transferred to
TiVo Desktop’s Now Playing List need to be converted to a format that your portable device
can read. You can convert individual recordings, or you can set this to happen automatically to
all recordings in the Now Playing List.
1. Launch TiVo Desktop Plus.
Note: When you purchase the Home Networking Package (see page 38) you receive one
licence key for TiVo Desktop Plus. You may purchase additional licence keys for additional
computers on your home network from www.tivo.com.au/shop
.
2. To convert a single recording manually:
• Highlight a recording in TiVo Desktop's Now Playing List.
• Right mouse-click the recording and select Convert For…, then select your device.
