TiVo changes up Privacy Message to enable content download

Ryan Block, over on Engadget, writes:

We’re not sure what kind of tricky tricks those TiVo tricksters have up their sleeves with this one (if anything at all), but according to about a hundred people who wrote in, last night TiVo changed their Privacy Policy pertaining to “new functionality that will enable TiVo subscribers to download content to their Series2 DVR.” (Sorry, we haven’t used our office TiVo yet this week, we’re a bit busy!) We’re not entirely sure what this means since some TiVos can technically already download content by means of FireWire/S-video/RCA import, but their FAQ on 2005 Privacy Policy changes seems to somehow allude instead to more nefarious sounding third party applications. We’re confused, someone hold us?
