TiVo Desktop (not To Go) is now available for the Mac ,10.3+.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Without TiVo To Go, my lack of caring is remarkably large. Why does TiVo refuse to get that?

There are rumours that To Go is in development, and this makes me a little less skeptical.
Unless they're buying me off...

I've been spoiled by Myth. There's nothing that can't be done remotely from another computer and all the video is just regular MPEG.

Can Myth control a DishNetwork satellite receiver?

There some info here:
You have to buy or build an IR blaster to do the channel changing. I have no first hand experience with doing this however.

I've periodically had the problem where my computer (Dell XPS Gen 4, just over a year old) wouldn't boot into WinXP but shutting down and rebooting usually does the trick. Within the past few weeks, I've also been getting from time to time a message (next time, I'll have to note the specifics) that the hard drive can't be detected, but rebooting also works.
I don't know the inner workings of a computer too well, so I'm wondering if a connection is loose (I took a quick peek in the case but nothing looked obvious.) or if something's not quite right with the drive. Any ideas?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I wish I could come up with an answer for you Hidden Sky, but there are so many things I can think of. Could be a controller problem (that would need a new motherboard to fix), could be a hard drive problem, could be a power problem, could be a memory problem (not likely if your computer runs smoothly after getting it to boot), and could be a software problem depending on exactly what the errors are. I can't really diagnose what it is from the description. You might have documentation about clearing the CMOS (or maybe they say clearing the BIOS) in the manual that came with the computer, that might be worth a try before anything else.

Our client needs a web thingie:
Let's say we have a table on MS SQL Server. They want to give users the ability to
- Select various fields from the table
- Select fields to sort the table on
- Put "filter" criteria on various fields
- And then print a report based on the table and their above selections.
They don't have the budget for us to develope this from scratch, so I'm wondering if there's any preexisting product out there that could do all this....
All their users are on IE6, with the .Net framework installed as well.
