Well I found patches to mplex that enable it to generate ty files. 
Seems people are having success with ripped dvds.  the tivo tool
mfs_ftp allows you to extract and insert ty streams.  I've got mostly
HD streams, so I'm going to have to down convert the content and give
it a shot.  RIght now I can't afford frontends for each place I have a
tivo, so I'm hoping to do this as a stopgap.
