Existing users, 
Do not purchase Toast 8 for its TivoToGo capability. Roxio knows that their TivoToGo solution suffers from a fatal flaw in which many or even most programs will fail during transfer. TivoToGo doesn't catch this and either moves to the next recording or hangs. Roxio fails to respond to service requests and simply transfers the blame to Tivo. Roxio didn't even create the TivoToGo software they are selling so they claim that they can't help paying customers resolve these issues.
Toast 8 has a remarkably beta feel especially considering that it is an eighth revision. It suffers from far too many bugs to justify a $99 pricetag. Toast 7 was one of the best products ever to come out of this stalwart company. How they could have gone so wrong with Toast 8 is incredibly disappointing.
Don't take my word for it. Read it for yourself at:

Roxio stonewalls paid customers over buggy software - Paul_Vail_674
it would be useful if you outlined the bugs yourself. I've played with this for a while now, and I've not discovered any bugs to date. Then again, I use eyeTV and not TiVo.I think a one-star rating is a little slanted for a product that does all this can, properly, save for what is not its exact first purpose. As I read the tivo posts on the roxio site, then went to the tivo site and a few others, I started to get the feeling the issues are much more with Tivo than with Toast.
Pity you can't try this with a different dvr solution to compare functionality. I think if the software does 95% of what it claims, it'd be worth more than 1 star.
