TiVoToGo and Multi-Room Viewing coming to HD TiVos in November
It looks like it's finally going to happen, the Series3 and the TiVo HD are finally going to catch up to their SD siblings and get upgraded with the most highly anticipated TiVo features. We know all to well how complicated CableLabs can make it to bring 3rd party CableCARD products to market, and as a result we've been waiting over a year for the Series3 to get the ability to transfers shows to our PC and between TiVos. And while CableLabs has never specifically forbid these features, until recently they've made them impossible to implement. According to a post over at TiVoCommunity.com by Bob "TiVoPony" Poniatowski, a TiVo product marketing rep, both TiVoToGo and Multi-Room Viewing are currently in beta and will be available to both Series3 and TiVo HD owners in November. Naturally, Bob reminds everybody about "the first rule of beta club", so we'll just have to take his word for it -- until it leaks, anyway.

No. Mac too. Tivo Transfer.app is already part of Toast Titanium. I have it and it looks nice. But I can't do anything with it yet since it only supports the Series2. But November's gonna rock! I might finally have an excuse to get a BlueRay player and burner.

Will this also include support for movie downloads from Amazon unbox as well?

Will it be possible to do multi-room viewing between S2 & Tivo HD? With Macs on-board, will the tive play AAC format (m4a)
