Crashes consistently - Version: 1.0b3, 1/13/2009 07:02AM PST

I attempted to use TiVo Butler. It even got me to upgrade to 10.5 just so I could try it. Unfortunately, it crashes all the time rendering it unusable at this point. The interface is pretty nice, so if an update is released which fixes the stability problems, I'll happily give it another try. Unfortunately, it does not appear to be under active development with the b3 release more than 9 months old already.

Crashy, but it works - Version: 1.0b, 3/22/2008 08:43PM PST

I've never been able to get Toast's TiVo Transfer feature to work. TivoDecode Manager is quite problematic (especially the queue) and doesn't work reliably on Leopard. I tried TiVo Butler and, much to my surprise, it works! It crashes consistently when all queued downloads have finished and I've encountered a number of other problems. But, I'm once again able to get my TiVo files from my TiVo to my Mac. So I'm happy!
