Please provide any additional information below.
First of all, let me say that I love iTiVo and use it every day. One thing I've noticed is that when a downloaded show is encoding, iTiVo stops downloading the next show and waits until the previous encode is complete, which seems to me to be inefficient. I was wondering why iTiVo couldn't continue downloading shows into the selected directory and queue them up for encoding later instead. For example, if you had two 1-hour shows that took an hour to download and an hour to encode, it would take 4 hours to complete both (1 hour to download show 1, 1 hour to encode show 1, 1 hour to download show 2, 1 hour to encode show 2); whereas, with my suggestion, it would only take 3 hours, because at the same time that show #1 was encoding, show #2 would be downloading. Just a suggestion. Thanks!
