Unfortunately, not anything that will help you.... I got the FSIDs by setting up TivoWeb and accessing it over the serial connection. But that might not be your only problem. After getting the FSIDs I found that the new recordings extracted flawlessly (burned them onto DVDs). But my older recordings would have a few errors during the conversion, and there was a considerable amount of missing video (several minutes). I never did figure out (or get a response here about) how to resolve this. So I finally gave in and bought a Turbonet card. It will arrive on Monday. I assumed the problem was with the older files I was using to do the extraction. So hopefully the newer tools available to extract video over the network will fix that problem. Anyway, another thing you might need to know is that to mount the Tivo drives in your PC, you need to modify the linux kernel source and recompile. I found the diff file somewhere, but it was for an old version of the kernel and the code in question is in a different source file now. Of course, grep can help you find it and you can manually apply the patch. Or use MFSTools Boot CD. That works well. Anyway, I wish you luck in what you are trying to do. I guess you could say I gave up
. If you need anymore help, don't hesitate to post here or e-mail me. I'll do what I can.
