TiVo

TiVo setup Marital bliss is His & Hers TiVo units. It's the only realistic way to keep Wishlists and Thumbs-Up data separate.

Previous setup diagrams: 2001 2003 2004 2006 2007 2010 2014 2017 2018 2019


Disk sizes

Discussion on Disk Sizes; an 80 billion byte disk holds 74.5 gigabytes.

Copy tystream to RAID on Linux

To guard against the case where my TiVo's hard disk goes out again, I copy some of the recordings to another Linux box that has 250 GB of disks in RAID-1.
cd ~/joe-tivo; perl ~/bin/from-tivo joe-tivo:3105 'TOON|G4TTV'
