@diggduggjoe: Tivo did fist DST after pressure from users on series 1. Check dealdatabase dot com for that and other hacks. I love tivowebplus on my series two system and streaming video to my computer at work while I'm digging and not working.

I think SORT is the best 'hack'. For Series 1 and 2 of course (maybe 3?.. not sure).From your list of recorded programs, tap Slow-O(zero)-Record-Thumbsup and it will allow you to sort your list by alpha or date just by taping the number 1 or 3You'll have to redo it when Tivo does a larger software update, but it's a quick fix.

I'm still looking for a way to re-purpose my old Series2 Tivo, maybe turn it into a MythTV box or something to that effect.

Grrrr...How about DirecTivo hacks? I feel so left out with a DirecTV Tivo. Right out of the box, its a stripped down Tivo. I'd love to have, um, TIVO functions much less Tivo hacks.

hmm. Sorry to be stupid here, so I need to order a set top box instead of my DVR from TimeWarner, and then hope the set top box will work without an IR blaster? Is there no way to be sure?I've looked all over the net for some clear setup for SERIES 2 on Time Warner and cant find anything. Everyone wants to talk Series 3, but for $500+ and since I don't have a high def set, I don't want to get that (yet!)
