The kernel modifications can be downloaded.  Applications like
MyWorld and all the custom code used to drive the MPEG encoder and
decoder can't.  Since the Tivo guide format is known (see the
Canadian Tivo lists over at Yahoo) and downloaded using HTTP, I
suppose that if you're clever enough and have a lifetime Tivo
subscription you could pull the Tivo guide data, and either convert
it into XMLTV format or just stuff it directly into the MythTV
database.
