Nice. I'll have to remember that if I decided to zipper my Tivo. I've thought about it, even have a drive for it, but since the HDVR2 will be outdated when they roll out MPEG-4, I haven't had the urge to do it.
<br><br>One question though, you reference "the original hack", but the link goes to your site. What was the original hack?<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/28/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Tony Bibbs

<div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Well, it's been an interesting ride and I'm pretty much done. I've fixed the Hughes HDVR2 with a "Zippered" hard drive. The Zipper ISO image is something you have to build and two of the packages unfortunately cost money (a whopping $30 total). It's pretty cool because I've got Wireless Ethernet Bridge (WET) working which in addition to providing networking to the Tivo unit it also now provides networking to my PS2 (which I play once a month).
<br><br>I have pretty much everything working I just need to find time to play with it all. It's not Myth but it's not bad.<br><br><span><a href="http://www.tonybibbs.com/article.php/HackHDVR2" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">

<span class="q">I've also opted to hack my Tivo box for HMO and TivoWebPlus not to mention a wireless hack that involves using an Linksys WRT54GS (with the help of hyperWRT) as a wireless adapter for my Hughes HDVR2 which will need a usb->ethernet adapter. In short, I think something like this as a topic would be right up our ally given all the hacking involved.

so it does apply somewhat. But yeah, we do need an update on MythTV. It has been a while since we had a presentation. If we could put them together, I think that would be a good presentation.
