Hacking TiVo: The Expansion, Enhancement and Development Starter Kit

Topsy TiVo - Your beloved TiVo, much like the human brain, functions only at partial capacity. With some help on your end, TiVo could do so much more, like display photos from your PC, act as your caller ID, and receive e-mails and instant messages. In Hacking TiVo, software engineer and TiVo expert Jeff Keegan shares the codes and tricks of the TiVo-hacking community. Some of the stuff is dense (Chapter 6: "Setting up rsync, ftpd or NFS"), and once you break into your TiVo, you void its warranty. Still, a (digital) mind is a terrible thing to waste.
