fyi, I'm going to write a (new) guide between Christmas/New Years that includes screenshots of every step in the process, which will 1) Disable encryption and 2) transfer recordings.

I missed the last one, moved into a new apartment on September 1st and was tied up with that :(

I'm going to give it a whirl this weekend - both "nothanks" and "upgradesoftware=false" can be found in the boot page, correct?

Count me in for the next service day :)

Check your PM's :)

got it, thank you for the response. My fear is that TiVo would send out the upgrade sometime during the week and the new patches wouldn't be out in time before the Saturday/Sunday football games...

I'm in the exact same situation you're in, down to every option.

I think I'm going to wait and see how the Hauppauge HD PVR turns out. This seems to be the most cost effective solution.

Wow....WOW!

That is a game changer. I might pick up a modified unit this week!

Just to clarify, since I am a newbie:

It IS possible, with a modified HD Tivo), to extract recorded HD streams that have are broadcast encrypted (like ESPN HD) and extract these from the Tivo, to...
