TiVo Hacking Book to be Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the fun-stuff-to-read dept.

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."

    *pssst* (yeah, you)

    hook up a vcr or dvd burner or what-have-you to the video-out of your tivo... playback the show you recorded while simultaneously recording with your attached device...

    i hope this wasn't too controversial of a hack to share with you... don't report me.
