I setup a second TiVo DVR today. It connects to my network OK which I confirmed by accessing some of the Yahoo stuff in Music, Photos . . .. Howvere I did notice that I can't see my 2 Macs on the new box even though I can see them and access Music and Photos on them with my other DVR. I also have noticed that on my Macs with TiVoToGo, the software only sees one DVR - the older one.

Does anyone know what's up? Are the issues realted (lack of Music and Photos and TiVOTOGo only seeing the one DVR?).

Anyone know a resolution to either of these issues?

I have the same problem. I already had two TiVo Series 2 units (one 40- and one 80-hour) and just installed my Toast 8 / TiVo Transfer software today.

The TiVo Transfer software lists only the 40-hour TiVo in the TIVO DVRs list, with its recordings listed properly in the scrolling list. The 80-hour TiVo is *not* listed in the TIVO DVRs list. But oddly enough, its *recordings* are listed in the LIBRARY -> TiVo Recordings list.

I'm going to initiate a transfer from the 40-hour TiVo DVR and then see whether it gets transferred to my Mac or to my 80-hour TiVo -- that'd be just plain bizarre...

I have three networked Series 2 DVRs. What shows up in the "LIBRARY: TiVo Recordings" is actually what's on the TiVo in the LIving Room, and the other two are listed under "TIVO DVRs", and I can't get it to transfer anything, as far as I can tell...

17" MacBookPro, 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, running 10.4.8.

Hmmm... Now *both* TiVos are showing up in my TIVO DVRs list. The *only* thing that changed was that I turned off the TiVo Desktop in my System Preferences. (TiVo Desktop allows your TiVo to see shared music and photos on your Mac computer.)

I went ahead and turned TiVo Desktop back on, and both TiVos *still* show up in the TiVo Transfer application. Very weird...

This worked for me. At loeast it seemd to. The TiVo might have reset itself overnight, but it's up now.

What shows up in the Library list is shows that you've transfered over from your TiVo DVRs onto your Mac hard drive. If you have 3 TiVo's on your network, what you transfer from these 3 will be aggregated in this Library list.

The individual TiVo's will appear in the TiVo DVRs area, and you can click on each individual TiVo in the list to browse the contents of those TiVo units prior to transfering.

Yes, that is what *should* happen. But trust me, the Library list initially showed the contents of my 80-hour TiVo. I recognized every show from the DVR, and I hadn't transferred *any* of them with TiVo Transfer yet. Heck, I had just *installed* TiVo Transfer and it was showing me my 80-hour TiVo contents in the Library section.

Only after I turned off the TiVo Desktop sharing of music and pictures did my 80-hour TiVo show up properly under TIVO DVRs (and its contents no longer appeared in the Library list). But I cannot say for sure that the TiVo Desktop is what was causing the issue.
