[mythtv-users] Tivo as backend

[Griffon --]

MythTIvo is cool but with a  D*TV unit you have to hack the box, this
is not so big with cheap $99 Tivo but I'm scared to try that with my
really expensive HD one. Plus if I mug all our shows my wife will kill
me... but that is a separate issue.

I might go for it anyway though if MythTivo actually integrated with
the watch recording module but it sits off as more it's own
thing...basicaly making it a streaming toaster, not a bad thing but
not really lending it's self to a high WAF setup since programing and
finding things become disjointed. Also I don't think you can tune to
live streams but I could be wrong about that (only got to mess around
with it a bit at friends on a series one Tivo).

Definitely a project I have high hopes for though :).

There is a good looking tutorial on hacking the Tivo (and the HD one) at
http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/printthread.php?t=37015

I'd be interested if anyone has done this on the HD D*TV unit. I know
a few folks who where thinking about decided to wait to see if the
fantasy patch ever appears from D*TV.
