Welcome to Dranch's Tivo Guide

Hacking the Tivo might seem a little daunting but it isn't too bad if you take your time.

So far, I have written detailed guides for:

- Building and Installing a TivoNET board NOTE: this is a 17M web page to maintain TOP-NOTCH quality of the images.

• Having problems compiling things like mpeg2enc, mpeg2dec, toolame, vcdimager, cdrdao, etc? Check out my little tivo-docing-the-extraction.txt cheat-sheet.

• Automated Script: I wrote the convert-it script to automatically convert Tivo .m2* files into a VCD (with full error checking, etc).
