I have a TiVo, and I use a free app called cTiVo for my Mac if I want to copy things from it to make available for viewing elsewhere.

It does not allow me to copy any HBO shows I've recorded, they are greyed out in the listing.

cTiVo is good, but it takes a very long time to copy and encode shows. For example, a 4-hour Super Bowl might take most of a day.

As for TiVo fees, I hate paying $22+/mo. for my TiVo fee, but I plan to buy a used Roamio model soon –– probably the 500GB model that includes a lifetime subscription –– then simply upgrade the hard drive inside to a much larger model from Weaknees.com. Goodbye monthly TiVo fees!
