TiVo shows via https
I found a blog today, and in one of the comments it explained how to reach your TiVo with a web browser, instead of the TiVo desktop software. I tried and found it worked like a charm.
Just browse to
https://mytivosipaddr/
...for me this was https://192.168.0.2/
You can also browse to the http address, and you will get this static homepage.
When prompted for username/password, enter "tivo" and your media access key. You can get your key at here. After that, you should see a web page like the picture here, and you can click the download links to grab your shows at a faster rate than thru the Tivo desktop software.
Shameless plug: if you activate a new Tivo, please use my email address so I can get the referral points. Simply use [tpullis at yahoo dot com]. If you have already activated, please contact me with your 15 digit service number so I can get the referral. Much appreciated!
