As I originally reported from CES TiVo Desktop 2.6 adds support for Web Video, if you purchase the TiVo Desktop Plus upgrade. And TiVo is making Desktop 2.6 for Windows available starting today. Since all TiVo units currently only support MPEG-2 video, this works by using TiVo Desktop Plus to transcode web video from whichever format is is

"With the native feeds you can select one of the video feeds pre-selected by TiVo from the new interface on your TiVo."

Where can I find a list of these 'pre-selected by TiVo' feeds? I've looked everywhere but, apparently, not in the right places. (I'm trying to get a pre-spend peek at what's avail.)

Find Programs -> Download TV, Movies, & Web Video -> Browse Other Videos

I found that - that's what led me to the question.

I select > all and then go to the bottom and selected it and get to a screen that tells me to to to the website for TiVo Desktop Plus.

In the top right hand corner of that screen is 4 graphics - is that all there is? Those four? I thought that those were maybe a representation and there were a whole lot more.

wow. Think I just saved myself $25. Thanks!

No - you can't see the list of additional sites unless you have Desktop 2.6 Plus installed. Since it sounds like you don't, you won't see the programs at all.
