If you’ve got a Tivo, for $20 you can invest in their Desktop Plus option. This allows you to move movies from your computer to you Tivo and watch then on your TV. It also allows you to play music and look at pictures.
Supported formats include:
* Windows Media Video (.wmv)
* QuickTime Movie (.mov)
* MPEG-4/H.264 (.mp4, .m4v, .mp4v)
* MPEG-2 (.mpg, .mpeg, .mpe, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpv2)
* DivX or Xvid (.avi, .divx)
Note – I’ve found that you need to know your computer’s IP address and then on your Tivo – under Music and Photo’s “Manually Add a Server” and type in that IP Address. You can find your IP address by following these commands on your Windows screen. “Start – Run – Cmd – Ipconfig.”
