I feared as much. That will complicate things -- but, thanks for the info.
Tara: That was funny if you've studied Taglarin mystic rites and... are a total dork... Riley: Then how come Xander didn't laugh?

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Don't they anticipate that people will mostly use TiVo-to-Go to watch stuff that's saved to their laptop's HD?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My primary usage is archival. I don't think I've watched anything I've transferred, but my laptop is a Mac.

That's certainly how they present it -- but since when do people use technology in the way that its makers originally envisioned it?

Right now I'm using my mouse perfectly normally.
Then again, I am at work, after all, and there are rules.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'm not.

There is software that strips the DRM out of the Tivo files and makes them regular MPEG files. It works quite well. I've even had success with moving the files back to a Mac and burning DVD's with Toast 6.

For home, I will be looking into this the moment I finally get the thing networked t eyes UPS tracking . For work purposes, sadly not an option.

Gah!
I'm trying to print a PDF through Distiller from Visio. The diagram is 44x34, but Distiller keeps chopping it into 11x8.5 chunks.
I've gone into Job Options, and saved an option config of 44x34, and it's not reflected in Visio, which still insists it's printing to letter, landscape. I put 44x34 into Document Properties/Layout/Advance/Paper Size, and still ... mosaic.
Can anyone help?
