You don't own your TiVo. TiVo owns you.



If you replace any hardware, you void the warranty. Otherwise the hacks are semi-condoned and supported on a major TiVo forum. All of the hacks that you do without changing code were put in there by TiVo in the first place.

I've owned 4 TiVo's now (2 still work, lightning is evil) and you can't ask for a more easier to use, full featured, hacker friendly box out there.

And yes, i tried RePlay. They're great once you get the TV show on it, but prior to that it is a horrendous pain to record shows, especially syndicated ones. TiVo does a much better job.
