It looks like copy protection might be a pain. These shows usually are marked with a red circle-slash icon. Some shows cannot be transferred due to the copy protection assigned them by the program provider. “Not all programs may be transferred using the Multi-Room Viewing or TiVoToGo features due to the use of copy protection mechanisms permitted under the FCC's encoding rules.
#HOW TO WATCH JAPANESE TV ON A COMPUTEER PLUS#
The cons – Expensive ($299.00 plus service fees), lots of extra expenses ( TiVo Desktop Plus software) for transferring files, still need to pay for cable service, and finally, there is this note on the TiVo website: The pros – very flexible set up, could skim or fast forward through programs, can be remotely controlled for scheduling. I could program it to record the shows I liked, and later transfer the files from the TiVo hard drive to my computer in Tokyo. The first option I considered was to have a TiVo set up in the US, connected to a cable box. My research showed that there were several ways around the blockage. Or is that true? As an engineer, I can’t look at a problem without also looking for a solution.
I found that my favorite sites had access blocked for anyone outside the US. Call me shallow, but American programs can’t be beaten.Īfter my move to Tokyo, I was disappointed to find that, even though I had blazing fast Internet, streaming video sites were unwatchable. I rarely missed House, Castle, Smallville, or Supernatural. Even when I was in the States, I used those websites to time-shift my favorite shows to a more convenient watching time. Are you missing out on your favorite US TV programs while in Japan? I was too, and it was a pain to miss the latest shows.
