Overview: Hacking the TiVo has become a major geek past time—make your media appliances better, faster, stronger with this set of cool TiVo hacks.

Sometimes a technology comes along that marries the boundless imagination of users with an application or piece of hardware conducive to modification. The TiVo is the poster-child for this phenomenon. Because of the way this appliance was built, it is highly receptive to hacking—only the good kind of hacking, complete with documentation and useful functions the manufacturers of the original product never considered when writing their specifications. 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.
