I've compiled hexedit to run on a series 2 TiVo.
You'll need to untar terminfo.tgz somewhere and put a new variable in your rc.sysinit.author (or wherever).
export TERMINFO=<some_path>/terminfoSo, for example if you untar in your /hack directory, you'll have:"export TERMINFO=/hack/terminfo". You'll also want to have TERM defined e.g. "export TERM=xterm" or "export TERM=vt100" or whatever.
To install hexedit, just ftp hexedit.gz to your tivo and unzip it (gzip -d hexedit.gz), and move it into a directory in your path. The first two attachments are all that's needed to use hexedit.
Invoke with "hexedit <filename>". The F1 key shows a short help.
I've included a patch that changes the F1 help function if you decide to find hexedit on the net and build it yourself.
I've also included the terminfo progs if you want to customize terminals. The terminfo tarfile only has a few terminal definitions in it and most could be removed if you're worried about space (not that it's all that much). The compiled ncurses library and include directory are also included for those who want to build apps with ncurses.
