I think we are at cross purposes. TiVo app appears to retrieve photos from cloud services such as google, facebook and flickr. So first you have to get photos from your PC to that cloud service. That requires uploading via your VM broadband connection which is only 1 mbit on my tariff which is very slow for photos from average cameras these days.

So, I have to upload from my PC to a cloud service, then download back to my living room with TiVo.

It would be much easier to connect my TiVo to my PC and cut out the cloud storage middleman.

Make sense?

So, for those that use the photo app, how do they find uploading all their photos via VM broadband?
