TiVo Tips: How to get the most out of your TiVo

Watch your Netflix DVD's on your TiVO (and send them back for more!)

Here's how to do it.

1) Rent a DVD. We've always been fans of Netflix and Blockbuster Online.

2) Download a conversion tool like WinXMedia DVD Ripper . This will allow you to convert your Rented DVD's into the supported MGEG format for your Tivo.

3) Make sure you have TivoToGo Active and installed. You'll need to be able to send and receive Video files to and from your Tivo.

4) Inset your disc and start ripping. Make sure you've set your ripper to encode in MPEG2 format. Nothing else will work unfortunately. Save this file to your TiVo to Go folder (My Tivo Recordings)

5) Once the DVD is ripped go to your Tivo, access your Computers Tivo Recordings File and transfer your movie over to your Tivo and now you can watch DVD's on your Tivo at your own leisure.

 

A Few Tips

WideScreen Movies on Standard TV's: Sometimes you'll see that widescreen movies can be squished on to your standard TV making everyone look way too tall. If this happens to you, try changing the aspect settings on your Ripper program to a different setting and test it again.

Error's while trying to load the DVD into the Ripper: If you get an error while trying to load your DVD into your ripper, all hope is not lost. Many times, if you close your ripper and open your DVD with window media player, close it and open the ripper again, that will fix it. Sometimes it wont though, that's just the nature of digital media. Every now and then you'll find a movie you just can't rip.

Space Issues: If you have a ton of recorded shows on your Tivo, you want to save as much space as possible. May DVD ripping programs will allow you to break your movie into smaller chunks. Consider making each chunk 1000 megs each (usually 2 or 3 files for a movie). This way you won't have to fill up your hard drive all at once. Especially useful if you don't plan on watching the entire movie in one sitting.



 

Just a Few Real Life Testimonials About TiVo DRV's

"I'd give up my Cell Phone before my TiVo!"

"My Tivo is my favorite toy by far of anything I have in my house. I've actually got 3 of them. My Tivo's are all networked together and I've got television at my fingertips now. I would give up my cell phone and PDA before I ever gave up my Tivo."

"If there was ever one gift my husband and I got for our baby shower that I could give to everyone I know, it'd be Tivo."

"If there was ever one gift my husband and I got for our baby shower that I could give to everyone I know, it'd be Tivo. With three small children, we are never able to watch our shows during the normal prime time hours. With Tivo, we can eat as a family, get the kids to bed and then finally sit down on the couch after a long day and not miss a thing."

"The best part about Tivo? No more ads.

"The best part about Tivo? No more ads. Sometimes I actually feel lost in conversation when people talk about new products or movies coming out. I have no clue, I've never seen the ads! They blur by at the speed of light, so I'm not bombarded by car commercials and the like. I love Tivo!"
