Is there an easy way to do this? I’ve got a few shows I want to see before getting a new Tivo box.

Before anyone says, yes I have googled it but the answers are all very techy. Software called kttmg seems to crop up but it looks more aimed at people who know what they ate doing.

Cheers in advance.

Is it a Virgin Tivo or a normal one?

Virgin – I think you’re out of luck. A normal one, this might work

It’s a Virgin Tivo. When I log into my Tivo account there is a “enable video downloads” option but it’s marked N/A.
