Attention all you Mac folks... ;-)
So I didn't cover this yesterday, but I swung through the TiVo booth again today and took some more photos - including several of the screens of the new MacOS TiVo Desktop they are demonstrating in the booth. Yes, it exists, but it is pre-alpha at this point.










If those links don't work well, the originals are http://www.megazone.org/Photos/CES2006/TiVo/SMALL/ and http://www.megazone.org/Photos/CES2006/TiVo/RAW/

If anyone wants to mirror these - please do, and drop the URL(s) in the comments.

Even though "late" is a laughable understatement, I'm still drooling...

Mirrored on PodigyNetwork
2 Things... just learning how to use WordPress and just learning how to use a Mac (traded my PC Laptop for a iBook). So, if this isn't right, let me know.

Where do I apply to be a pre-alpha tester :P
Hopefully this will be out around the same time as the Series 3 TiVo, so I can geek out appropriately.

Re: Where do I apply to be a pre-alpha tester :P
I believe the Mac Desktop will beat the Series3 to market. My understanding is the Mac Desktop will probably be out in the first half of the year.

As for testing - fill out the beta application on TiVo's website and you may well get picked. :-)

Competition!
No wonder the current Tivo Desktop STILL doesn't work in Tiger, all their machines are apparently still on Panther. ;)

Re: Competition!
actually the current TiVO desktop works fine with Tiger. Just ignore the install error. when I installed I thought it failed but then when I hooked my TIVo to my wireless network and looked in my system prefs, there it was , Tivo desktop.. it's a bit clunky, like I had to click the start button several times before it stuck "on" i dunno.

At least it works here, for music and pictures anyway. My Tivo2 is wireless and I can access my Itunes music and iPhoto pictures from my TV. not that useful, my display on my mac is much better than my TV, and I stream iTunes to my stereo with an Airport express anyway.

So did you throw a rock against a metal oil drum and when everyone at TiVo looked to see what the noise was you downloaded it to your ipod?
