Streaming video to Tivo

Is there a way to stream videos from a computer to a tivo via a network? I see alot of movies on my computer, and I was wondering if I could do that so that I wouldn't have to watch stuf f on my tiny lcd screen in my unconfortable swivel chair.

You can't stream to a TiVo over a network today. But it may be coming. TiVoToGo is coming this year - the first release is only about moving content from a TiVo to a PC. But earlier this year TiVo did a survey about what people wanted from TTG - and half the questions are about moving content to the TiVo. So many of us think that's a future addition.

What I have done is run S-video out to my TV from my video card on my computer, and audio out via my Audigy to my receiver, and then used a piece of software called TVTool http://tvtool.info/index_e.htm to direct the movie I'm playing out to my TV. It works great! TVTool is cheap and reliable.
