"Months ago, some Backstage entries noted how excited we were about TiVo’s upcoming TiVo to Go service for the iPod - a way to turn TiVo-recorded videos into iPod-viewable content. Today, TiVo released the free TiVo Desktop 2.3, a Windows XP/2000 version of its TiVo-to-PC transfer software, and also TiVo Desktop 2.3 Plus ($25), an optional unlock code for iPod video conversion. Initial impressions are as follows: “W.T.F.”"
Check out the article for the full blow by blow. He is a bit negative on the software because it is slow both in transfer from the TiVo to the computer as well as the convert process.

Overall, this looks like an easy way to get your TiVo content to your iPod via a somewhat painless process.
