This is old news for the PC world; unfortunately, the Mac version of Tivo Desktop is pretty far behind the Windows version. Tivo recently released version 1.9.3 of Tivo Desktop. The only documented change was universal binary support, allowing it to run at full speed on both PowerPC and Intel Macintoshes.
The new Tivo Desktop contains an undocumented feature which needs to be enabled before you’ll see it. This feature allows you to share video to your Tivo as well as the documented and normally enabled music and videos. I’ve enabled it but haven’t tried it yet, seeing as I’m traveling right now. I’ll try it once we’re home.

Now if only someday DirecTV would support Tivo Series 2 software on the HD DirecTivo…

You can download Tivo Desktop directly from Tivo.
