Why in the hell, after at least a year of “working hard,” do those Tivo-programming motherfuckers not have file transfers for Macs? At the minimum we’re talking about software to simply move files to a PC hard-drive so they can be moved back to the Tivo to be watched. My fucking hard drive is almost fucking full of Doctor Who and I mean the real Doctor Who, not the new show with the fag Doctor, where they stop to repeat lines (We surrender, this is a surrender! We’re surrendering! Do you the viewer now understand the Cybermen are in fact assaulting us DESPITE the fact that we’re repeatedly surrendering?) for the stupid to hear and reiterate and explain plot points such as Eccleston’s repeated “Everybody Lives!” proclamations. I watch that show too. If those motherfuckers make me lose my Doctor Who I’m gonna start stabbing some motherfuckers.
:dubious:
Fuck you and your fucking fag Mac.
Maybe you should get Apple to do the same goddamn thing with your faggoty-assed iPod. Homo.
Try the TiVoDecode Manager.
(He kissed a guy.) I then said " I watch that show too." I’ve never done this before here, I don’t know what you think is funny or acceptable.
He kissed a guy, so you think it’s OK to call him a fag? If it was a black actor, would you call him the new “nigger Dr. Who”?
Answer: Because of corporate weenie-think.
My ISP, Cablevision, which has approximately 327 quingigillion Optimum Online customers, has decided to make “essential” a program you “will need” to download called netguide. It’s supposed to help you with troubleshooting and that. Great.
'Cause I download this program that you supposedly just haaave to have to use OptOnline, and what do you know? It’s a friggn .exe file. A nice quiet finger in the eye to ten percent (=approximately 32.7 quingigillion) of their loyal customers.
That’s pretty optimistic. Most of the numbers I see are in the 3-3.5% range.
It makes only slightly less sense to develop for Tivo et al to develop applications for Linux.
I think that those numbers are for new machines sold, not installed base. The Mac party line is that since Macs have a much longer useful life (arguable), the installed base is greater, since they are replaced less often and used longer. This argument is supported by the relatively high prices for used Macs compared to other used computers, suggesting that there’s more demand and use for older Macs.
I am a Mac user, but I don’t use TiVo, so I have no dog in this fight.
Just stepping in to say I thought the title was “Why is Tivo to Go transfer service not available for Mars?”
Carry on.
Here in the pit, everything is funny and nothing is acceptable.
Except for some people, then it’s the other way around.
I don’t know about reviving this but the service is now available. Sort of. It costs $100. They are looking for ways to reduce the cost.
I was right, they could have had file transfers some time ago. Bastards. It’s burning DVDs or getting them onto Ipods that was the problem. I don’t understand how they “didn’t have expertise.” They seem to be a relatively large company, so I would think what you normally do is hire people who can do waht you need.
Yeah, the “it’s free for Windows but $80 for Macs” sucks ass and deserves at least a sub-pitting.
I have OO. No damn way I’m going to install something they give me. The service works fine without any of their helpful tools. It probably includes a root kit. Fuck’em.
Fuck TiVo too, but not for the OP’s faggy, Dr. Who felching, Sci-Fi geek reasons. TiVo is, after all, just a decoder card and hard drive. Yet they won’t enable TiVo ToGo on my Pioneer TiVo with lifetime basic subscription. Not because the Pioneer isn’t compatible, it is, but because they don’t feel I paid enough for the subscription. Fucking fuckers.
