TiVo has announced plans to give users of its digital video recorders the ability to transfer television shows to their PSP or video iPod with the company's TiVoToGo service.

"The enhanced TiVoToGo also will allow users for the first time to set their TiVos to automatically load new recordings of their favorite programs to portable gadgets via their PC. The recordings would be transferred overnight, similar to how shows are downloaded to TiVo boxes overnight for those who request automatic recording of certain programs."

"Don't expect instant gratification: The transfer process from a TiVo Series2 set-top-box to a PC -- a necessary step before syncing to a portable -- occurs roughly in real-time. An hour-long show will take an hour to transfer to the PC, then roughly another 10 minutes or so to sync to a portable device."

TiVo will begin testing the new TiVoToGo service starting this week and will make it available to the public in the first quarter of next year. The new service would cost users a one-time fee of between $15 to $30.
