Tivo to Adobe Premire Pro

I am trying to load a file created on the Tivo Desktop pro into Adobe Premiere Pro. When I do so, it says file not supported - leaving me to believe I need to purchase a file converter so that I can get the clip into Premiere Pro CS6.



1.) Is it correct that tivo files or tivo files for portable device do not load to Adobe?



2.) What is the preferred file converter program for the best quality?



3.) If I record a show in HD, will the output from the TIVO desktop file also be in HD quality?



thanks,

Todd
