After this friday I'm going to have 3 hacked Directv tivo's with out
service. I'm curious if anyone has ever been successful converting
mythtv recordings to TY files that can be inserted onto the tivo.
I'm going to start looking into it. Figured I'd announce it here to
see if anyone else has any interest.
Tivo recordings are just slightly wonky mpeg2 files (at least thats what
Tytool seems to generate).
However, I'm pretty sure that none of the tools allow video to be put
back onto the Tivo, due to the encrypted filing systems used.
Just what the Myth recordsings on your Mythbox...
Well I found patches to mplex that enable it to generate ty files.
Seems people are having success with ripped dvds. the tivo tool
mfs_ftp allows you to extract and insert ty streams. I've got mostly
HD streams, so I'm going to have to down convert the content and give
it a shot. RIght now I can't afford frontends for each place I have a
tivo, so I'm hoping to do this as a stopgap.
Cool. Seems things are moving on in Tivoland too. Let us know how you
get on!
