Sometimes a technology comes along that marries the boundless imagination of users with an application or piece of hardware conducive to modification.

This download contains four TiVo hacks gleaned from the O'Reilly book TiVo Hacks: 100 Industrial-Strength Tips & Tools, by Raffi Krikorian. Be forewarned, hacking your TiVo is not for the faint of heart or for most beginners, but if you have the itch to make your appliances do amazing tricks they weren't designed for, hacking your TiVo can satisfy it.
