In my post of just minutes ago, I referenced TiVo Desktop for Macintosh (inasmuch as it isn’t compatible with Intel-based Macs). Well, I went back to get a screenshot of the page, and, amazingly, there’s no Mac version there at all now.

Does this mean a Universal Binary is forthcoming? We can only hope it means that and not the end of support for the Mac . . . I’ve got my fingers crossed.

Here’s the link - TiVo Desktop - if you want to keep checking for an update.

UPDATE: It’s back now - not sure what happened there.

This issue deserves a little note since it has an unexpected impact that I haven’t seen reported elsewhere, and that I’ve personally experienced: 7.2.2 is incompatible with certain wired ethernet adapters, and therefore, if you have one, you won’t get 7.2.2.

Note on TiVo’s support site

But there’s a glitch. If you got 7.2.2 before TiVo was aware of the issue, then you basically just lose connectivity. In my case, I signed up on the priority list, then I was out of town. So by the time my TiVo started complaining about a lack of guide data, I wasn’t here to do anything about it.

So what did I do? First I tried connecting via phone line, assuming that I would get a slight update that would fix the problem, but that wasn’t the case. So I scrounged up another, compatible adapter (one of the benefits of being in the TiVo world is having tons of extra junk around) and I’m working again.

But then I found that when I wanted to show my vacation photos from my trip, I couldn’t, because TiVo Desktop isn’t compatible with my new Intel-based MacBook Pro. Such is life on the cutting edge of technology . . .
