Does anyone know if you can use Tivo to go in reverse? (i.e. -- you have a
TV show saved on DVD, or in download form on the PC. Can you somehow upload
it and get it into the TIVO box via Tivo to Go?)
Thanks.

Commonly called "TiVoToComeBack", that's coming soon.

I still think "GoToTiVo" would be better. . .I read (somewhere) that name
was ruled out some time ago by the folks at TiVo, but don't know why -
"GoToTiVo" is a heck of a lot better, IMO.

My impression is that it is an unofficial name, and that transferring back
to TiVo will just be an extended feature of TiVoToGo. If it DOES end up
having its own name, I would much prefer GoToTiVo as well.

Going on pure speculation here, I think TiVoToGo is intended to evolve over
time, with the next step being pulling files back to the TiVo (which would
pretty much mean you now have unlimited storage, since you could just add a
network storage device), then perhaps the next step being either displaying
AVI/MPGs, or perhaps a conversion process, so videos on your computer could
be displayed, just like pictures and music.
