There are many TiVo hacking communities who do not seem to have been constrained in the ways suggested.
The XBox situation would seem to also be a useful parallel, no doubt full of patents etc, however the open source community, not on selling, seem to overcome such issues, makes me think it might be successfully done with the TiVos.
Kind regards

It's not a question of "skills", it's a question of proprietary information about patented devices. Those with the knowledge and ability to do this would still be constrained by NDAs, software patents, copyrights and other legal problems.
In short, it ain't gonna happen, at least not legally.
But I'd certainly love to be proved wrong, I have an old series-2 in the garage :-)
