I did a lot of reading, the only thing I understand is that most people have DTV service. I want to hack a Phillips PTV100 standalone with a Dishnetwork receiver (got it working together quite nice). It has a turbonet card which I can connect to Tivo headquarters with, as it connects in the Tivo setup. I don't really care about extraction, but it is the "other" feature that I want as I live in Canada. I've read posts going back as far as 2002, and the more I read, the more confused I get. I know nothing about Linux, but I can learn, I just do not know where to start, the How-to's seem to be about DTivo's. I don't know what software version my box can handle or what progams I need to do what I want. I know I will have to start from scratch and I'm not asking about a prehacked box. Any precise guidence will be appreciated.

The TiVoCanada group on Yahoo should have most of the information you need, as well as people experienced in applying it.

Thanks Bill, that seems to be what I'm looking for. :D
