I was pleasantly surprised when I found out about cTivo and gave it a try. I had dabbled with iTivo but while the interface was much easier, functionally it was dead in the water for me. Even then, it was a slow, laborious process. I eventually came upon KMTTG and it took a while to figure it out and get the settings just right to work.

The software that comes with Toast Titanium for working with Tivo was pathetically awful.

I used to use KMTTG over a year ago when it was almost the only game in town.

I'd love to shake the developer's hand and thank them profusely for helping me archive all my favorite shows. It is a system that works for me and I couldn't do it without cTiVo. I then edit out all the commercials on the weekends via iMovie and move the finished files to my Plex library. In my case, I just let cTiVo run overnight every couple of days to download, decrypt and encode all my shows I want to keep to my Mac. Most will be happy enough just having a copy of their shows, commercials and all, in iTunes, but you can go one step better and mark the commercials so they can be skipped. I can use this freeware to download my shows to my Mac. Then I found out about cTiVo.ĬTiVo is the best option of all for me. Of course, if you're like me and would like to keep some of the shows or movies on TiVo, the choice used to be either keep it forever on TiVo and miss other programming or buy an external hard drive to add storage. Owning a TiVo is the difference between a dumb DVR & a machine that can learn about your viewing habits and make intelligent suggestions for shows to watch or record.
