Coming up on Hands on Tech, let's answer a question for somebody who's still using their TiVo and need some help making transfers.

Stay tuned.

This is Twitter.

Oh, hello and welcome to Hands on Tech, an episode leading up to the Christmas holiday.

For those of you celebrating Christmas, I hope you have a great one.

For those of you who don't, I hope that the end of this year is everything you hope it will be,

that you're staying nice and warm

or nice and cool if you're in a different climate. And we do, as always, appreciate you the

year round for being here with us. Today, we are answering a question from Richie, who is written

in with the following. Richie says, I have a TiVo with recordings I would like to save to my PC.

I feel like a bunch of people just went,

in hearing that.

I cannot sign into the TiVo desktop anymore

since they stopped the service slash the website.

I used to connect to my TiVo via the IP address

and then use video redo to decrypt the file and open it.

It no longer works.

TiVo desktop does not connect to my box.

I tried TiVo decode, it's all one word,

but was too stupid to figure that out.

Any idea on how to save.tivo files on my PC?

Well, first, Richie, listen here.
