A whole order of improvement in the interface of the previous version, TIVoDecode Manager 2 is simple and effective. The download and encode to MPG4 in one operation is a big time saver and works perfectly for me. This is just the thing to get one's TIVO recordings into iTunes & iPod and it doesn't cost a dime. Simply perfect.

I wonder if the difficulties others seem to be having with this excellent program are network related or due to non-compatible TIVO hardware. After all, it only supports a pretty limited range of un-hacked TIVO models.
