TiVo is a digital video recorder that allows you to record television programs, download music videos, view weather forecasts, news, sports and other informational services. Along with the many TiVo services available is software that allows you to download shows directly from your TiVo. The software also allows you to upload music and pictures. You can upload videos if you have the premium version. Downloading shows from your TiVo to your computer allows you to watch shows later while freeing up space on your TiVo's hard drive so you can continue recording your favorite programs.
