Roxio was (still is) selling a bundle with the software and TiVo wireless adapter, but you don't need that specific wireless adapter to hook your TiVo up. http://www.roxio.com/enu/promotions/landing/macworld/default.html I also found the Roxio booth had plenty of folks who knew what was going on… they had 3 computers running TiVoTOGO and there were people on all 3 doing demos who could answer questions.

Welcome! One thing though: it's long been public knowledge that iTV / Apple TV required a widescreen TV. Good you liked it! Welcome!

One thing though: it’s long been public knowledge that iTV / Apple TV required a widescreen TV.

For long-time Mac users and "Pro-level" users, the show is a practice in frustration. Nothing really worth seeing at all. I really wish they would have two MacWorlds per year. One for consumers featuring their gadgetware like the iPod, iPhone, AppleTV, etc. and another one that focuses on Video, Graphics, Hardware and pro-level software.

The person I asked to demo it for me did so flawlessly. The only problem is that they didn't actually have a TiVo hooked up, they had already transferred the recordings over to the demo machine on display. You don't HAVE to use the TiVo-branded wireless USB adapter, you just have to connect your TiVo to your Mac's LAN and that product is an easy way to do so.
