HP has made available software that makes it easier to manage the content your Tivo has recorded and also enables you to view this content on any PC in your home.  The new software is called HP MediaSmart Expander for TiVo® and is available for free from HP.

With this software, you can:

  • transfer shows from a TiVo DVR to a HP MediaSmart Server and back to a TiVo DVR
  • manage TiVo recordings stored on a HP MediaSmart Server
  • watch TiVo DVR recordings that are stored on a HP MediaSmart Server on any PC in the home

For those who aren’t into setting up your own server and DVR, this is an almost ideal setup.

If I had a Tivo and MediaSmart server, I would definitely try this out.
