TiVo Hacking Book to be Released

weaknees writes "Wired News reports that O'Reilly press has book in the works loaded with TiVo Hacks. The author, an MIT guy, is collecting 100 hacks for TiVo, but is shying away from the most controversial hacks.... The brief article points out that the most avid TiVo hackers seem intent on respecting TiVo's interest in having hackers stay away from things like subscription theft and video extraction."

Respect

Oh they want to respect tivo? but tivo doesnt give a monkeys about upgrading software without asking users permission and disabling features. As far as im concerned screw them they are selling hardware,they are trying to sell a service. Take advantage, buy the hardware hack it until your hearts content. These companies dont respect us, we shouldnt respect them. Who gives a f*ck really, mod me down if you want i have the karma.

Seriously.

If this doesn't explain how to pull video off the thing and burn to VCD or DVD, I really don't see the point. Yet another book less useful than the web, I guess.
