First off if anyone has any 4.0 Tivo OS image I would love to beg it off you.
At this point I am just evaluating my options as to what I could do. I now own 1
Directivo and one MS Ultimatetv (a far better designed machine which is far more
responsive even though it has a slower processor and half the RAM on the same
architecture) I am considering selling my UTV to buy another DTV. As it is a
Directivo the Home Media Option (a way to stream media from one tivo to another
across a wired or wireless LAN) will likely not be availible for quite some time
so it would be nice to something like that myself.
I would very much like to get video extraction working on both tivo's if I were
to get another one, and perhaps install debian on one and use it as very high
uptime samba server for me to backup data and to feed music/vidoes to the
xbox's. (It would also be cool if I could get a DHCP sever going) I am one of
those people that is constantly messing with my desktop until it does not work
so getting a server that I would not have to worry about would be sweet. My big
concern is that running a samba server in the backround would make a tivoso slow
as to be unuseable.
This sounds like a project that if I wrote it up well I could submit to /. ...
