TiVo Desktop 2.5 released

Dave Zatz has the scoop on TiVo Desktop 2.5. The big news is that it will transcode DivX and XviD on the fly, making your TiVo basically a nice video player that's connected to your TV. Most video you find online (like TV episodes or movies) is in those formats that previously you had to convert. Now you can simply stream them to your television thanks to the new TiVo desktop.

Also has Vista support! Woot!

Should be free... $25 for plus after paying monthly fee seems silly to me.. come on Tivo... I'll just continue to use the free stuff!

I can't say I'm particularly impressed, especially considering the fee. I've been using TiVo.net to do this for a couple of months now.

Whats the skinny on the new DirecTv tivo relationship as mentioned here:

I was thinking about making the HD plunge this winter, but methinks I should wait a little longer.. Thoughts?
