PVRblog pointed out that TiVo has released version 1.1 of TiVo Desktop, a PC and Macintosh media server software-utility that’s compatible with TiVo Series 2 Personal Video Recorders with network adapters installed. This means that TiVo users with recent-model PVRs can steam MP3s and view photos through their home theater systems without purchasing any additional hardware.
Streaming of music and display of digital photos are two of the features in the add-on product formerly known as the Home Media Option. TiVo stopped charging extra for the Home Media Option several months ago.
