The problem with using a DirecTiVo as a media streamer is the lack of support for anamorphic widescreen output.

Even with one of the Hughes high-def DirecTivo units? That one gives me control of the 4:3 TV shows and allows me to stretch them with the press of a button. Wouldn't it do the same for other playback?

The Tivo_Zipper script will preserve your recordings as far as I know.

Interesting. Last I heard, the situation was thus:
- Stuff already saved to the Tivo hard disk was encrypted.
- Hacking the Tivo removes encryption from the algorithm that saves and plays back the movies, thus allowing any FUTURE recordings to be fully shareable. However, existing recordings would stay encrypted and couldn't be played back.

Maybe I interpreted this wrong, and actually what was meand was that existing recordings couldn't be *shared* with PCs or with other people because of the encryption.

In any case, I'd like to learn more, as hacking my Tivo is getting more and more appealing to me each day.
