TiVo to Mac - iTivo Update

I first wrote about moving your Tivo files to your Mac using iTivo here. When Mountain Lion broke the application I did an updated post outlining a work around here. Well, I'm happy to inform you that there is an update to iTivo, the application that makes it easy to download and decrypt your tivo files. iTivo now works with OSX 10.8!

Although the application is currently in beta release it does work. You can download the application on this web page.  Make sure to download the latest copy and give it a test drive and see if it works for you.

When things were still broken you may have tried to fix things by adding a soft link to find your Tivo on the network. Since you no longer need that link you can remove it using terminal. Open terminal and type:


cd /usr/bin

ls -al mDNS

The computer should return something like this

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  15 Jul 26 11:54 mDNS -> /usr/bin/dns-sd

to remove your link type the following

sudo rm mDNS


That's it. You should be done.  Happy downloading!




UPDATE - 2/20/2013

As of 2/20/2013 iTiVo is working again. The application does needs a manual fix however. Please download the latest iTiVo and apply the fix outlined in the this MacITHelp post.
