Tivo doing Damage Control for Mac Fans

TiVoPony, an employee from their product marketing group, drops in from time to time on the TiVo Community site to let folks know what the official word is.

Regarding the recent story that TiVo's CFO let slip mac support for TiVo ToGo could be years away, even I was surprised at the amount of backlash from mac users. There are dozens of people in yesterday's thread swearing off their TiVo as a result of it and saying they would no longer support the company that didn't support features for macs.

Today TiVoPony dropped in to state that that the reporters at the school might have misrepresented the story and they are indeed working on TTG support for the mac:

I've traded emails with Dave Courtney, and here's the scoop...

His comments were not represented accurately at all in that article. 

We value Mac enthusiasts who own TiVo DVR's. And as we've previously stated, we're working towards support that would bring TiVoToGo to the Macintosh platform.

We have not yet announced a timeline as to when that service may be available though.

No firm dates, but at least they're listening, which is a good sign.
