Burning TiVo to DVD on Linux
This blogger, Zymurgeek, recently wrote some nice posts with step by step instructions for getting a show off your TiVo and burning to DVD. You'll need the Linux OS and command line experience to understand it all. Good luck!
1) Start here with this first simple post on how to get a show file off your networked TiVo and onto your computer. Then convert the video to MPEG format.

2) Next, he explains how to do some editing of the MPEG file and converting it to the proper NTSC DVD format.

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!
