Tivo released their TivoToGo service today. In summary, it allows you to watch shows from your (Windows) computer and burn them to DVDs.

This is very disappointing IMO. One, because you can’t stream it to other devices. Second, and more importantly, I think it’d be much better if instead they allowed you to download additional content over the web. Just like DVDs have extra features, so could TV shows. Or people could pull up information on the fly about actors by tying into IMDB. Or they could distribute original content and build their own branded channel of content. Or they could partner with one of the online movie rental providers. Or…. well, there are a lot of possibilities.
