About time. And product. And being more deliberate.
There’s an Easter Egg in the version 1.9.3 of the TiVo Desktop software for Mac. Flipping the right switch in the Preference Pane’s preference shows a new ‘Videos’ tab. Restarting the server and scrolling to the bottom of ‘Now Playing’ shows my MacBook. I’m very pleased they put my videos in ‘Now Playing’ (even at …
