Hi: We just purchased a Tivo unit. I installed Tivo Desktop 2.5 on my XP Pro computer and I am able to transfer programs from the Tivo to my PC very easily. It works great with Jaws 6.2. Once the programs are transfered from the Tivo to the PC, you can play them using Windows Media player.
Unfortunately, the Tivo unit itself is not accessible to the blind, unless there is some type of voice prompt mode that can be enabled. BTW, if you enable the server option in the Tivo Desktop software, you can play music and display photos that are stored on your PC, on the Tivo attached to your TV. We did this with several movie files that were stored on my PC and they played well on the Tivo. We have a Tivo Series 2 with the Tivo wireless USB adapter.

He is running JAWS 8.x on a Windows XP professional computer. Does he have to consider moving over to VISTA to accomplish this? Is this possible with the XP OS? What will he need?
