It converts to .tivo files (MPEG-2) So, all the video files on my computer (wink-wink, nudge-nudge) are viewable on my networked Tivo and 10 yr. old Sony XBR. Most every format works. Streaming is fast. For less than $25 bucks I can view all video content from my mac on a television. If apple wants $299 and then allows only itunes content to be viewed, what is the advantage? Tivo also offers 'tivo to go' solutions for both platforms. Yesterday, I downloaded ‘VisuableHub’ per TUAW’s suggestion. It converts to .tivo files (MPEG-2)
