"I wanted to let you know that development has been progressing smoothly, and all is well. You can expect TTG & MRV to be available for Series3 and TiVoHD this November.

These features will provide support for video transfers between Series3 & Series2 systems and between a Series3/Series2 system and a PC. High Definition content will not be supported for transfer or playback on a Series2 system (Series2's just can't play HD), and copy-protected High Def or Standard Def content cannot be transferred (same as our current Series2 products). The aptly yet unofficially named TiVoToComeBack also will be supported, including HD content (originally recorded on a TiVo DVR).

HD TTCB is initially for content originally recorded on a TiVo DVR, not HD content from other sources.

TiVo to Go and Multi Room Viewing were enabled yesterday for Series 3 and TiVo HD units. This is earlier than the date previously announced.

Let me know how it works (assuming you have more than 1 Tivo).

I can't test MRV, since the only tivo based box I own other than the S3 is a DirecTV one.

I have tested TTG from my S3 to my Windows Vista laptop.

I kept having networking errors when trying to get my Now Playing List to show on Tivo Desktop, but I finally got it to work by rebooting the S3.

I also found that each time a networking error occurred, I needed to close and restart Tivo Desktop before it would make another attempt.

In case it matters, my S3 is running 9.2j at this time.
