The full news release is below, if you’re a TiVo owner be sure to let us know what you think of the new HP MediaSmart Expander for TiVo.

The Add-In should be available now from the HP Add Software page which you can also access from the Server Console of your MediaSmart Server. I also have to commend HP for making this a free software addition, this further increases the breadth of features they offer beyond any other Home Server OEM as well as shows their dedication to the Home Server market. The Home Server is a perfect fit in this situation, and I can only hope that other entertainment providers such as the cable and satellite providers recognize this and deliver ways to allow their users to store more content on the Home Server.

I am not a TiVo owner, and even though the transfer process is all manual I do like the concept of centralizing storage and allowing users to keep more of their TV shows without worrying about the DVR filling up.

The TiVo technology does allow the simultaneous playback of files as they are transferring to the TiVo, however a 30-60 second buffer period is usually required for HD content. When transferring files for playback, HP said that Standard Definition (SD) shows could begin playback immediately, while High Definition (HD) shows will be limited by the transfer speed of the TiVo device. I did ask HP about the possibility of automating these transfers, and while no commitment could be made HP did acknowledge that automatic transfers is a desirable feature that would be considered for a possible future release. This is all an entirely manual process at this time. There are no automatic file deletions so your content will reside on the MediaSmart Server until you delete it or transfer it to a TiVo device. The content is stored in a TiVo subdirectory of the Recorded TV share on the Home Server. For playback you need to visit the TiVo menu on your TV, browse for your Home Server, find the content you wish to transfer, and then “pull” it onto the TiVo for playback. The HP MediaSmart Expander for TiVo functions in a “pull” model, this means that in order to store content on your server you must launch the Home Server Console, browse for your content, and select Transfer to “pull” the content onto the server for storage.

I understand that there are alternative free solutions for playback on the Mac, but TiVo does not officially support them.

For Macs there is the Roxio Toast software, however this costs $79.

The Add-In is based on the TiVo Desktop Software which handles the Digital Rights Management (DRM), and is a free download which you’ll need to install on your PCs in order to transfer and play content that you store on your MediaSmart Server. With the free HP MediaSmart Expander for TiVo, customers can transfer shows from TiVo to their server and back to the Tivo, view TiVo recordings stored on a HP MediaSmart Server, and watch TiVo recordings that are stored on the HP MediaSmart Server from any PC in the home using Windows Media Player. Today HP is announcing the the availability of a new Windows Home Server Add-In that allows TiVo owners to manage video content from their HP MediaSmart Server or DataVault.
