[. . . ] Access to media that is stored on your home computer ("PC-based media") via your TiVo DVR is provided through the TiVo Desktop application, which is available at www. tivo. com/desktop. The TiVo Desktop application permits you to access PC-based media from your TiVo DVR by streaming such media from your home computer to your TiVo DVR via your home network. The TiVo Desktop application itself does not contain any security mechanisms that would prevent third parties from accessing your home network. If your home network has Internet access but does not include a firewall, information on your home network can be easily seen by anyone on the Internet. Most firewall products stop all traffic originating from the Internet, protecting your systems from malicious network attacks or curious browsers interested in the files you have on your computer. A firewall can be installed to protect an individual computer or to protect a whole home network. The TiVoToGo feature is intended to enable you to transfer a copy of a program that you have recorded on a TiVo DVR to one or more home computers (i. e. , desktop or laptop computers) within the same household using the TiVo Desktop application. Once a copy of a program is stored on a home computer, the TiVo Desktop application enables you to select the program for viewing using third party PC-based media player applications. TiVo is not responsible for and does not warrant the use, behavior, or performance of such third party applications. 79 Copy Protection, Privacy, and the TiVo Service Using the TiVoToGo feature, you may transfer content only between TiVo DVRs to home computers on the same network subnet. The TiVoToGo feature is provided solely for personal, non-commercial use. Unauthorized transfers or distribution of copyrighted works outside of your home may constitute an infringement of the rights of copyright holders. TiVo reserves the right to terminate the TiVo service accounts of users who transfer or distribute content in violation of this Agreement--either to an unauthorized device or otherwise. The TiVoToGo feature includes security measures designed to prevent infringement of copyrighted works. You agree not to take any steps to defeat any TiVo security measures or to use any third party applications that may bypass any TiVo security measures. For example, programs that include copy protection mechanisms may not be transferred to a home computer using the TiVoToGo feature. Similarly, programs that may be blocked using Parental Controls may not be transferred to a home computer using the TiVoToGo feature. Before such programs may be transferred using the TiVoToGo feature, you must temporarily turn Parental Controls off. The TiVo Desktop application does not include Parental Controls for programs stored on your home computer. If you do not want minors to view particular programs on a home computer, do not transfer them using the TiVoToGo feature. Your home computer must meet certain minimum technical requirements and you must have adequate storage space available on your home computer to use the TiVoToGo feature. Because your home computer may need available space on your home computer's storage device to run properly and accommodate routine tasks, TiVo recommends that you carefully monitor the amount of available storage on your home computer. The programs transmitted from your TiVo DVR may require large amounts of space relative to other files on your home computer, and the TiVo Desktop application does not monitor the amount of available storage on your home computer.
