I've given up on TTG on Mac. Just too much on the empty promises, and we've all seen this pattern before in the Mac community, it = vapourware.
I'm just waiting for some week where I don't have anything I want to watch and watch everything on the TiVo and hack it. There's some very good tools for Mac that interface with a hacked TiVo that have more functionality than TTG.
The only bit of TTG that appears to be non-functional is the decryption.
Which leaves 2 options, decrypt on a PC (or under VPC) or disable the encryption on the Tivo itself.
I certainly hope that Tivo gets TTG for Mac soon, because my suspicion is that the Apple/Intel collaboration + Video iPod + Front Row (Apple's Media Centerish software) = Apple DVR in the not so distant future.
They probably won't unseat Tivo any time soon, but they'd certainly spark a wave of Tivo sales on eBay among the Mac faithful :)
I don't think Apple will release a DVR soon... Steve Jobs is very against the whole thing, and he'd rather you buy the TV episodes from the iTMS than record them

If you have drive space you can always download the files to your mac, hack, then reupload.
Unless the encryption removal hack prevents the tivo from playing previously encrypted files.
You can download through the built in web server on the Tivo or you can get Galleon which works on the Mac to handle the downloads. It will also handle reinserting the files back on the Tivo.
