• Day 4: Keynote: Inside Tivo.
• Man, I was so looking forward to this talk, Tridge (Andrew Trigell from Linuxcare), with some help from Paul MacKerras, the renowned Linux/PPC hacker, gave us an up to date list of hacks available fot the Tivo .
• While the Tivo is supposed to be a consumer proof device with a nice user interface (and it is by the way, Maddog's parents are successfully using one), it's also very hacker friendly and Tridge, with the help of a few other people, spent the several last months hacking it (to log in, type enter on the serial port 1 second after boot and the password on most Tivos is factory) .
• I got truly amazed when I found out that Tridge and friends, not satisfied with adding more hard drive space, soldering memory on the motherboard, reverse engineering the proprietary connector on the motherboard and turning it into an ISA bus, turning a Tivo entirely into a PAL capable device, they reversed engineered the video format, got video from the Tivo to play over the network on outside computers, figured out the TV guide database format and wrote programs to make their own database feeding for Australia through information automatically gathered by scripts on a web TV guide.
• I mean these people created a new Tivo product from the existing one before Tivo, and with no technical help or docs from Tivo whatesoever.
• After giving a quick overview of the Tivo for people who didn't know about it (see the web site for more info and go buy one), he showed the different hacks that have been made to his Tivo, like adding more memory, more Hard Drive, and changing the Tuner module for a Pal One. ...
• A Tivo has the following hardware: .
• The Tivo being an embedded box reboots at the first sign of trouble and does other things like killing pppd every so often in case the modem didn't hang up (Tridge had to link ppp to myppp so that myppp wouldn't get killed). ...
• The first challenge was to get the Tivo to work with Pal, which wasn't a given we he got the box. ...
• However, he automated the process too by feeding the output in the Tivo's input and checking the input status register to see if the input (and hence the output) has switched to PAL. ...
• Tridge did reverse engineer their TV guide database and wrote scripts to create guide data for Australia and his home Tivo, but he's not releasing that part because it could damag their business model in the US which is to sell subscriptions to the TV guide info. ...
• It's now possible to play video from the Tivo on another machine over the network.
• For the tuner, he had to remove the tuner from a BTTV card and "welded" it on the motherboard (Paul MacKerras on the other hand connected a VCR tuner board to his Tivo motherboard). ...
• While Tivo has been friendly so far, the 2. ...
• While Tridge despises binary kernel modules, he does understand Tivo's dilemna a bit as apparently the only money they make is the program data subscription (I've been told that in addition to not making a penny on each Tivo being sold, Tivo is actually paying an undisclosed amount of money to Phillips or Sony for each Tivo they sell) .

•   Does TiVo Have A Standalone Future?.
• Yet another story about how TiVo is still struggling, despite giving a name to the whole DVR space. As more and more cable and satellite TV providers offer their own DVRs, some are wondering if TiVo has a future? While those who use them still say that the TiVo device is much better than the all-in-one set-tops from cable companies, most consumers don't know that, and are going with the set-top boxes because it's easier to deal with. TiVo, themselves, are trying to move away from their hardware business and are focused on doing deals with the cable and satellite providers - but it's been a slow road so far. ... Meanwhile, none of the other cable and satellite providers who offer DVR functionality have bothered to do deals with TiVo, believing they can build their own offering without any help. ...
• if TiVo has a future.
• I know there's a great market for mom and grandpa to tape TV effectively using a packaged setup of one of these units, but I don't know that TiVo will be able to stay afloat considering how well MythTV is doing on the UI improvements. ...
• Save your "Change or Die" mantra; Linux, no matter how great it must be, yada yada, is cutting into markets where good people (people who will help you make the most of the thing they sold you, like Tivo) are no longer able to stay afloat, and support structures that are put in place by these companies is being replaced by a bunch of kids who don't even publish a phone number, let alone offer any kind of support, and America is validating this kind of irresponsibility just like it is validating frivolous McDonalds-hot-coffee-style lawsuits.
• Of course, if TiVO could decide to export it across the world's longest undefended border and make it available to the people in my neighbourhood, the decision would be even harder.

• TiVo Will Not Die.
• Washington, DC (April 27) -- It's been a rough week for TiVo, the Digital Video Recorder service.
• The Wall Street Journal and The Associated Press just published lengthy features on how TiVo could be wiped out by DVR services offered by cable TV operators. ... And, TiVo's stock continues to be suffocated by a combination of bad news and scary scenarios.
• I have to admit that all of this is a bit amusing, considering that I was the first to predict that TiVo would have serious problems if it did not license its DVR technology to cable and satellite TV services. (My prediction dates back to 2001; in fact; to prove it, my ears are still bruised from listening to the protests of TiVo executives and owners. ...
• Until now, TiVo's sole licensing partnership has been with DIRECTV, the nation's largest satellite TV service. ... TiVo has repeatedly been rebuffed by the cable operators -- and Echostar, the nation's second largest satcaster. Despite TiVo's growing brand awareness, the cable services prefer to use "brand X" DVR services from cable set-top makers such as Motorola and Scientific-Atlanta.
• In this case, TiVo's future is clearly dependent upon the cable and satellite operators. ... The DIRECTV partnership -- and other licensing deals with electronics firms such as Pioneer and Toshiba -- will permit TiVo to generate enough subscription and licensing revenue to survive, if not thrive. ... TiVo will have a big audience to target.
• Now I say this knowing that some believe that the TiVo-DIRECTV partnership is shaky because DIRECTV's new owner, News Corp. ... decided to dump TiVo for NDS? (See: NDS Pursues DIRECTV Deal).
• There's no question that TiVo is currently at the mercy of DIRECTV. If the satcaster did drop TiVo, its future subscription growth would drop like a rock. (TiVo now has approximately 1. ...

• According to the recently released privacy report, what TiVo calls "anonymous" information includes not only viewing information, but also the home viewer’s TiVo serial number. If true, one must ask whether TiVo’s mischaracterization of the term "anonymous" is purposeful and intended to deceive consumers. This not-so-anonymous information, according to the report, "is transmitted routinely to TiVo headquarters. " The report claims that this "anonymous" information could then be linked with customer account numbers, allowing TiVo, should it choose, to personally identify the viewing habits of each of its customers. As a result, the report concludes that the statement in TiVo’s privacy policy that the company does not collect personal information without your prior consent "appears to be incorrect. ...

Thus, TiVo would appear to be in violation of its commitment that it would not have access to personally identifiable information without prior customer consent. ...
• If TiVo’s intention is not to gain access to information that could permit it to personally identify the viewing habits of its customers, the report indicates its efforts in this regard may be lacking.

• Advice to TiVo: get your software onto PCs.
• Despite the regular predictions of its demise (and we’re probably due for another spate any week now), TiVo says it managed to add another 264,000 subscribers last quarter, brining them to a grand total of 1. ... So here’s some free advice for TiVo: create a version of your software that works on a regular PC and then either license it to manufacturers so they can put it on their PCs instead of Microsoft’s Media Center operating system or sell it directly to consumers so they can install it themselves (or do both). Like it or not, standalone digital video recorders (like the ones that run TiVo now) are going to disappear and be replaced by both amped-up cable set-top boxes and living room PCs, and since TiVo isn’t having much luck getting cable operators to put TiVo software in cable boxes, you’re going to have to do the next best thing and try and get yourselves onto PCs. Yes, there are plenty of other excellent options already out there for the PC (we won’t bother naming them all), but TiVo has the best user interface, not to mention great brand recognition, which means you have a small window of opportunity to become THE digital video recording software for the living room PC. ...
