Overview

EtiVo is a solution for people who want to archive their TiVo Recordings. Decent quality with WMV 9 takes about 100 Megabytes per hour of video. As opposed to the MP2 that TiVo encodes by default that's about 1 Gigabyte per hour of video. This means that a 100GB hard drive can store 1,000 hours of video!

Requirements

  • Stock Series 2 TiVo with a network adapter; requires TiVo Desktop to allow show downloads using TiVo To Go
  • Modified Series 1 TiVo or DirecTiVo to allow video extract of unencrypted content using MFS_FTP
  • Modified Series 2 DirecTiVo to allow video extract of unencrypted content using MFS_FTP
