PC --> Tivo
 

Is there anyway to watch content from my PC on my tivo ? i know in American you can do this, but i don't know about here, i have no dvd player in my livingroom, i only have my PC so would be good if i can watch my complete friends through tivo :D

Re: PC --> Tivo
 

No

Re: PC --> Tivo
 

well that sucks, i take it the tivo desktop app wouldn't work, and must be just for America then ?

Doesnt work with VM in UK

Could you not hook your PC directly to your TV? Most TV's have a PC input, or you can use HDMI if your PC has an HDMI output.

Re: PC --> Tivo
 

YES THERE IS

I have a small Box called WD TV Live. It depends on what is on your pc you want to watch. I suggest you google it and see if it brings to the table what you want. It has various conversion programs that allow you to watch video's and pictures to your hearts content. In essence it turns your tv into a 'Smart TV'.

edited to say you wouldn't watch on the Tivo but you would be able to watch on your tv which I'm sure is what you are after.

Re: PC --> Tivo
 

I will second this - I have the same box, and all you do is right click on a video and select "send to WD TV Live" - works like a charm.

yea i know of them boxes, but i was hoping to be able to do this without spending much ££ an HDMI lead wouldn't work, the distance is too far, so the price would be way too much.

30m HDMI lead is around about £115

Re: PC --> Tivo
 

??

you only need an HDMI lead from the box at the telly. Do you not have a router? If not you can copy the required video's etc to an external HD and connect it to the box using the USB port.

Re: PC --> Tivo
 

I am not really sure what you mean, yes i have a VM super hub 2

Re: PC --> Tivo
 

Then all you do is connect the WD Live box to the superhub, and then connect the WD Live box to the TV via a SMALL LENGTH HDMI lead, and bob's your uncle

Re: PC --> Tivo
 

i don't have a WD Live box

Re: PC --> Tivo
 

Yes I know - we offered you a solution to allow you to watch items on your PC to the TV rather than through the Tivo (which wont work) - I am not aware of any other solution you can use to do what you want - it may have been possible if the Tivo has a UHF loop through

Re: PC --> Tivo
 

i have just come across this little box, would it do what i need it to do ? https://shop.nowtv.com/ also this little thing coming from chrome (nout out in uk yet) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1tOeW8AcSA

Re: PC --> Tivo
 

The Chrome one looks impressive. The Now one will work as you want, but you will have to subscribe to Sky Movies etc for it to be of use. Looks an expensive way of doing it it me,

The Chrome one is almost the same as the WD Live box - just a lot smaller and more impressive

Re: PC --> Tivo
 

I'm not convinced that it does really. I didn't see anything that allows you to view things on your pc or connect an external HD to it. I like the price though ;)
The one thing I like about WD TV Live is it has Slingbox software built into it. I use that all the time on my TV.
