You could install the KRavEN upgrade, it contains noscramble.
there is not much to noscramble. It is a kernel module that disables the "scrambling" of recordings on the tivo.
If you intend to do extraction, you must have noscramble.o loaded. Any recordings already on the tivo, not recorded with noscramble loaded, cannot be extracted.
Also keep in mind scrambled recordings cannot be played with noscramble loaded and unscrambled recordings cannot be played unless noscramble is loaded. It is best to get noscramble.o loaded right away in order to avoid such problems (or delete all previous recordings and move on....)
Loading the module is easy, just type the following:
insmod noscramble.o
if you ever want to unload the module you have to use rmmod. rmmod is not installed by default, but is nothing more than the insmod binary called in a different manner. In order to use rmmod you must first link rmmod to insmod using this (you only ever have to do this once.)
ln -s /sbin/insmod /sbin/rmmod
from then on if you ever want to unload the module, just type:
rmmod noscramble.o
You can check to see if noscramble.o is loaded by typing:
cat /proc/modules
If it is listed, its loaded.

xPlusz can now unload/load noscramble using the remote.

With xPlusz, do a command #0#12 and look for
NOSCRAMBL
for status.
Or from bash do a cat /proc/modules and look for noscramble.
