MZ I followed the instructions in the link you send on transfering shows to the PC. It took about 2 hours for a 2 hour movie but I got an excelent copy.
I purchased Roxio and followed the instructions in the link on creating a DVD from the file on my PC. It took about 6 hours and both the video and audio were not digital quality. No better than I could have gotten by moving an analog copy to my PC and making a DVD from it. I was expecting the DVD to be the same quality as the original. Should't I have gotten original quality? Also should I be able to edit the tivo copy using Roxio to cut out the ads? So far I have not been able to do any editing of the tivo file. I downloaded the Roxio manual but haven't found it to help with tivo files.
