What, I respond to a thread and it dies? Luckily I'm not easily offended. :)

This thread has caught my interest. It's the first I've noticed of anyone talking about pixellation issues on the S3. I've been noticing this a lot lately, and it looks a lot like signal dropout. ...

If you pay the $25 "pro" fee, the TiVo Desktop software allows you to load shows back up to your unhacked unit. It will work with a variety of common formats including .mpg and .tivo files. Some of...

P.S. The only tagged shows I've seen on my unit are those from HBO...

You are wrong. It is that easy. I've done it many, many times. To convert, just google for tivodecode. Unlike other TiVo's, these files are almost literally just encrypted MPEGs with some extra...

Indeed. That would be really smart. They'd better do it fast though, time is running out! If they make it with only analog outputs they could even qualify for the $40 government vouchers, allowing...

My interest was waning in my HR10-250, but turns out that's more to do with the limited features DirecTV allowed. I ditched them and went with a S3 with cable cards and haven't regretted it at all. ...

You can also do an "export EMERGENCY_REINSTALL=1" from the command line first, then it will allow the reinstall. That should make it work. I'm not 100% sure of the variable name, since it's been a...

Oops. That would do it...

Well, that's one way to put a damper on the hacking community. :( Looks like it may be time to come up with a more sophisticated anti-upgrade technique.

This is completely unsubstantiated, but I thought I'd read somewhere that they were now using an all-in-one chipset of some sort...

I just picked up this 1TB eSATA drive and cable at my local Fry's Electronics for $199.99 and $6.99 respectively. I'd heard the Series 3's were picky (indeed, the first one I tried some months ago...

Yes, terminal. The Mac is easier, so long as you stick with off the shelf software. Straying into command line binaries, compiling your own stuff, and open source projects is a whole 'nother...

You need to install the xcode (developers tools) from the OS X dvd, they're not installed by default. Usually you compile by doing the following:


./configure
make
sudo make install


If...

Sorry, I'm not a real guru on the video terminology... :o Yes, I think what I meant was to get the MTS into an MP4 file. I'll try that with ffmpeg... Thanks!

P.S. I should probably say that...

Congrats, this sounds like a great enhancement to tytompg! And thanks again for continuing to provide mac versions. I don't want to hijack this thread, but I noticed this version works on 10.5 "out...

For those *nix (or OS X) command line junkies, like me, here's a handy command I use to batch download one or more shows...


rm cookies.txt ; curl --anyauth --user tivo:<YOUR_TTG_MAK> --insecure...

No, it's more than just strip, I got past that. One makes use of a utility called seg_hack, which I can't find. Another one simply spits out a "#error Please port this!" message. Others don't even...

I'm just not having much luck. Looking around, it seems only Apple knows how to compile this stuff... I also tried manually extracting the Xcode 2.4 binaries out of the dmg files, but they don't run...

Huh. Maybe something in the build process blew it away and failed to replace it... I'll try #2 again and see if I can figure it out.

I've made a little progress. Turns out that the darwin iso you're using (8.0.1, which, sadly is the latest available) is from right around the Intel transition and has a known bug in it that uses...

I'll see if I can block out some time to try and see what's going on there... Might be a little bit before I can get to it though. It would be nice to fully understand what's going on. Can you PM...

I just tried my technique on the new tytompg 0.21 binaries bcc just released, it works for them too.

Nice work! Sounds like that will make for a more robust tool all the way around. Alas, I've already converted all my older .ty files and ran them through VideoReDo, so I don't have them anymore to...

Yeah, that does suck, but at lease we users have a workaround that lets your binaries work. Any chance on making that re-calculating the timestamps code a switch? :)

Since this problem doesn't...
