Hacking the TiVo

William von Hagen

®

Warning: Doing almost any of the procedures discussed in this book

requires opening your TiVo, which instantly voids your TiVo warranty

forever. Also, you can get a serious electrical shock if you’re not care￾ful while poking around inside your TiVo, just as you can with any

electrical device. Never work on your TiVo while it’s plugged in.

Acknowledgments

I’d like to thank my wife for putting up with my TiVo obsession and for never car￾rying out any of her threats. Four TiVos in a two-person house seems just about

right to me. And you thought that the Lisp Machines in the dining room were

bad!

I’d like to thank embeem (aka Mike Baker) for making this book far better than

it would have been without his help. Thanks to embeem and lightn (aka Josha

Foust) for substantial contributions to the MFS information in Chapter 9. I’d also

like to thank the TiVo hacking community in general, which has freely and

selflessly contributed ideas, hacks, and time towards making the TiVo a fun

machine. Special thanks to Andrew Tridgell, Dylan, ElectricLegs, embeem, Ingi￾neer, JohnnyDeath, Kazymyr, lightn, MuscleNerd, Otto, Tyger, and countless

others. Like everyone, I’d like to thank Linus Torvalds and the Open Source com￾munity for Linux. I’d also like to thank the folks at TiVo for making a great prod￾uct and actively supporting the TiVo hacking community. (What’s up with that

hashing stuff, guys?)

I would also like to thank the folks at Premier Press for letting me do this book.

Special thanks and a big sigh of relief to my agent and book packager, Marta

Justak, for not killing me, regardless of how tempting that must have been.

Thanks, too, to Karen Whitehouse for the excellent improvements to the text, to

Sharon Hilgenberg for her impressive work making it possible to find things in

this book, to Kurt Wall for helping and always being a friend, and to Bill Hart￾man for making this book look great while working within a time warp.
