Covering all currently-available TiVo models, this new edition provides the latest information for TiVo owners to get the most out of their TiVo. With the highest reader rating of any TiVo book on Amazon, the first edition has been extremely popular, providing hacks that enable TiVo owners to save hundreds of dollars and store more recordings. This book discusses how to hack the latest TiVo hardware, including the Sony 4000, Pioneer 57H, and Pioneer 810H. These are updated Series 2 TiVos, but all run a new version of the TiVo operating system. This requires some additional techniques in order to expand its storage capacity and install utilities into its file system. Not only appealing to TiVo owners that want to save money, this book also serves owners who want the security of backing up their TiVos themselves, and Linux users who want detailed information about the version of the Linux operating system used in TiVos. The purpose of this second edition is to provide the most technical and up-to-date information on TiVos, discuss “taboo” topics that were not covered in the first edition such as video extraction and to offer information in a reorganized, easy-to-follow manner, based on reader feedback from the first edition. The author, well-known in the Linux community, offers a long history of working with Linux systems, such as TiVo, and solid writing experience that contributes to the easy-to-understand and well-organized flow of the material. Readers will undoubtedly be pleased with the amount of new material covered and the value it adds to their ownership of the TiVo.
