A while ago I blogged about easy TiVo hacking for the masses. I have the DirecTV integrated TiVo which is pretty locked down. On the plus side, it has two tuners so I can record two shows at the same time and the montly service is only $4.99. At the time it looked like remote control based hacks were about all I could pull off. I decided to head over to tivocommunity.com and see if anyone has made progress in applying the usual TiVo hacks (larger drive, installing an FTP server, etc.) to the DirecTV model.
Luckily, I found a link to this site which presents a HOWTO on hacking (or screwing up) the DirecTV TiVo. I'm going to give it a shot with an extra 60GB drive I have. If it doesn't work, maybe I'll finally go all out and setup a MythTV based ultimate media center with DVD ripping, MP3s, PVR, weather, video game emulator, and more. The cool thing is I could then run the MythTV front end on a wireless laptop anywhere in the house.
