Any chance a kind soul could post the echo commands for HME/HMO?

That would be:

bash-2.02# cd /tvbin
bash-2.02# mv tivoapp tivoapp_6.3_orig
bash-2.02# cp tivoapp_6.3_orig tivoapp
bash-2.02# chmod 755 tivoapp
bash-2.02# echo -ne "\x34\x11\x00\x00" | dd conv=notrunc of=tivoapp bs=1 seek=903436
	4+0 records in
	4+0 records out
bash-2.02# echo -ne "\x24\x10\x00\x01" | dd conv=notrunc of=tivoapp bs=1 seek=1118524
	4+0 records in
	4+0 records out
bash-2.02# echo -ne "\x10\x00\x00\x14" | dd conv=notrunc of=tivoapp bs=1 seek=5724672
	4+0 records in
	4+0 records out

Beautiful Zorg! Thanks so much.

HMO is working perfectly on my 6.3a but HME seems to crash the box... causes a reboot.

Good stuff. Now if I could stop playing Wordsmith I would be able to get some work done around here.

So what works and what doesn't?

Cool.

Am I correct that with this hack we only get HMO and HME but MRV is not functional?

I ask because after the hacks, I see my other Tivos displayed. But when I select on a machine, the machine name is listed at the top, but the listings are still from the hr10-250.

For the fun of it, I ran the set_mrv_name_67.tcl. But it didn't help.

Correct. MRV code ain't there.

Any way to remove some of the litter in MP&M screen? I've never had a standalone, but what is required to make some of those links work? I am getting messages like: "An error occured while running the application. Could not open url." or a mess of crash data when opening the Product Watch links.

If removing the objects is not doable, how about sorting them so local apps appear at the top of the list since the refresh seems to bring you to the top of the list with every item exit.

OKay, back to wordsmith, this game is strangely addictive for me.

I suspect those built in apps that connect to the net use a gateway at TiVo, and since our boxes are not properly authorized it doesn't work. I too would like to whittle down what shows up in there and what doesn't. I haven't really started trying to figure it out yet, but if anybody else has -- please share!

Also, if you like that game, you may want to check out PopCap games. They've got a ton of "educational" games that are quite addictive -- all via your browser.

Using any patches that enable any kind of network functionality on a directivo without blocking the tivo from being able to phone home is quite an irresponsible thing to do.

I mean no disrespect, but I don't understand this line of thinking. What's the harm? Surely they know we're out here, and they know we've hacked our boxes - these forums are the worst kept secret if it was ever meant to be kept secret. What's the worst that could happen? They discover I've hacked by box and shut me off? Good riddance, I say. That would be just the kick I need to get a Series 3 and switch to cable. I've been thinking about the series 3 for a while as it nicely solves the "integration" issue which is the only reason I've stuck with D* units anyway. It really pisses me off the way they cripple their TiVo's, there's just no excuse for it. Sorry, I'm rambling now. But I'd really love to know, honestly, what's the harm?

FYI, this didn't do anything for me... I tried changing the gw to be my router, and that let me ping the address, but still nothing on the hme apps.

I've always had these lines in the rc.sysinit.author of all my DTiVos, but I guess I didn't fully understand why

So, just a clarification please... this blocks calling in to TiVo, correct?

And it does not block daily calls to D* via network, also correct?

If my understanding is correct, then it makes sense that we don't want to be hitting TiVo's servers with boxes they aren't paid to support.

Actually the lines I've always used are:

#echo "blocking TiVo phone home"
route add -host 204.176.49.2 gw 127.0.0.1
route add -net 204.176.49.0 gw 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

Is this equivalent to Mr. AW's post above?
