Tivo To Go............POS???

It's been a few days since I posted but I've been busy so anyone who wants to complain can kiss my asian butt :P

I just got Tivo To Go a few days ago which lets me take my Tivo recordings from the Tivo and transfer it to my PC. Since my PC is upstairs and the Tivo is downstairs I used a wireless adapter. Now I'm a technology freak, so using my vast knowledge I figured it wouldn't take all that long to download the stuff. Using conventional tech reason, it should transfer over at 11MB per second since thats what my network supports. Holy crap is all I can say, it takes almost 3 hours to download a 1 hour show!! I decided to download a few shows and left my PC on at night to get them.

Now I figured, this should be freakin cake, how long can it possibly take to take some MPEG's and throw them on a DVD? 4 hours! What I discovered during this extremely painful process (I made a few coasters too with my wrecked DVD's during this) is that the files are all encrypted by Tivo and when you burn it to DVD it decrypts the thing while it burns. Totally unacceptable! On top of all this, some of the Tivo files wouldn't decrypt properly because I wasn't using the correct software. I joined the tivocommunity.com boards and found a way to use Nero (my burning app of choice) and found a few ways to help me along.

I now have a way of decrypting a tivo file in 5 minutes but the re-coding after stripping out commercials takes 3-4 hours still which totally sucks. I'm looking for software to do this faster if possible. Oh I also found out the Tivo's use Linux as the OS and its coded to broadcast Tivo To Go at 1MB per second even if you're using Ethernet cable. WTF!! This isn't going to stop me from burning DVD's mind you, I just have to find a faster way to do it or get another PC so mine isn't locked up encoding Tivo files. Tivo needs to make this thing better FAST! POS!
