3.3.2Access to PC-Based Media. 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 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. Because the TiVo Desktop application makes media (e.g., music, photos) you publish to your TiVo DVR available on your home network, TiVo recommends that you install a firewall that protects your home network. If your network does not include a firewall, Internet users may be able to access PC-based media on your network or other information on your computer, such as personal financial data. TiVo strongly suggests you take steps to protect your home network from unwanted intruders. Routers and home gateways, available at most electronics stores, may include a firewall meant to protect your home network.

Some third-party PC-based applications may also enable access to PC- based media through your TiVo. Such applications may or may not include built-in security mechanisms. TiVo is not responsible for and does not warrant the use, behavior, or performance of such applications.

TiVo service features that enable access to PC-based media are intended solely to enable you to access media that resides on your home computer for personal, noncommercial use. The feature is not intended to be used for listening to or viewing music, photographs, video, or other media from third party sources including, but not limited to, Internet streaming, webcasting, peer-to-peer or any other form of transmission of content. Viewing or listening to media from third party sources could subject your TiVo DVR and/or home computer to harm and may infringe the copyrights of third parties.

3.3.3TiVoToGo Feature. 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 or other portable viewing devices (collectively referred to as “Personal Viewing Devices”) 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 on Personal Viewing Devices using third party media player applications. TiVo is not responsible for and does not warrant the use, behavior, or performance of such third party applications.

Using the TiVoToGo feature, you may transfer content only between TiVo DVRs to Personal Viewing Devices on the same network subnet. For a discussion of network subnets, please see Section 3.3.1 above. 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
