Comments about KMTTG as an Alternative to TiVo Desktop Plus
- KMTTG is Free and Open Source
For people who are not computer/software programmers, it's the easiest to understand and use, especially now that the free version of TiVo Desktop has also been discontinued and may not work with newer builds of Windows. There is a lot of good online help/support available for KMTTG too.
