So I MEANT that maybe soon you'll be able to put all your TiVo and DVD collection on a hand-held device.<BR/><BR/>Then I read the other posts and see you can already do it! I'm halfway between a technotard and a geek, I guess. LOL<BR/><BR/>So I'm thinking the only limitation is space. Oh, and the fact that my TiVo unit and my computer aren't connected.Natalie J.

I'm watching last night's NCIS this morning - quality is fairly good.<BR/><BR/>And right now Apple's iTunes sells Desperete Housewives, Lost, and a couple of children's shows for $1.99 an episode. The qulaity is escellent.<BR/><BR/>I also use PD-DVD converter (www.pqdvd.com/dvd-to-ipod-video-converter.html)to convert some DVDs - and once you install ALL the bits and pieces, it works really, really well. I converted a 2.5 hr movie (Pirates of the Caribbean) in 30 minutes.<BR/><BR/>However, if you find you using the iPod to store many videos, you'll really want to get the 60G version.
