TIVO is running linux on all their boxes. The CPU is a PPC.
check out the following URL for more info.
http://www.avsforum.com/ubbcgitivo/Ultimate.cgi
( the tivo underground is the cool hacking forum )
http://www.tivofaq.com/hack/
http://www.9thtee.com/tivoupgrades.htm
I think the FAQ may be slightly out of date.
A couple of the Samba developers are real involved in the tivo hacks.
you can upgrade your hard drive, add ethernet, get a shell prompt over
serial, ppp over serial, run a webserver over ppp or ethernet to select
programs etc.
This is the real deinition of hacking(not cracking). Tivo has not
discouraged the hacks. (no official support either)
And now back to our regularly scheduled seawolf discussion.
