As I have had little success with the included software, which never seems to show up in my Now Playing list or takes ages to load if at all.  I was wondering if anyone else had been using any alternative software to connect your PC to your TiVo that they would recommend.

Mainly software for putting video onto the player, rather than from the player

I have been using Vuze [Formerly Azureus] which is a P2P torrent client but it includes a useful option to drag and drop video files into a TiVo section. It then converts the file so the TiVo can play it. These files can be accessed through the Now Playing page.  The software also acts as a server.

The 2 downsides of this software for me:
It creates another, much larger copy of the file in a special transcode folder. Ok, you can delete this after you have transferred it to the TiVo but if you are doing a few, you can eat into HDD space.

Also the audio can be hit and miss. Some files have sounded a bit burbley


Also works well with the PS3.

There must be others out there, ideally one that would work with different media devices. eg PS3 and TiVo
