Tivo Tip #1 Did you know the Tivo "Now Playing" listing can easily be viewed on your PC? As long as your Tivo is hooked up to your home network this tip works from any browser. 1. Write down your Tivo IP address. On Tivo this is accessed by clicking "Messages & Settings", "Settings", and finally "Phone & Network". 2. Locate your Media Access Key. On Tivo click "Account and System Information". Fire-up your browser of choice. Enter this URL: https://{your Tivo IP address} -- Replace {your Tivo IP address} with the actual address (probably something like 192.168.1.100) Make sure you type in "https" and not "http". 3. You will probably see a message about a certificate error. Ignore this and select "Continue". When prompted enter this username and password: Username: tivo Password: {Your Media Access key} 4. This should take you to a page that displays your Tivo "Now Playing" listing. Depending on the size of your Tivo it may take a while to create this page. Each show listed will also feature a convenient link to download directly to your computer. 5. You are now free to export these details to other programs or print out. Enjoy!
