A page to keep track of the various TiVo hacks I’ve written.
The downloadable files are in the threads on the TiVo Community website. I also keep copies here, but I’m a bit unreliable at keeping things up to date.
Best way to contact me is to PM me at the TiVo Community.
EndPad is a TCL script which runs in the background watching for recordings to start or finish, and adding extra recording time if there is no other recording due. This means you can have “soft padding” – extended recording time which does not prevent other recordings being made.
View the Now Playing of a remote Tivo on your TV screen as if the shows were on the one you are watching, and transfer them to your local machine, watching as they copy.
A TiVoWeb module which allows you to change the priorities of Season passes, as in the SP Manager on the TiVo. I find the web interface much easier for manipulating large lists, and the new order is implemented in the background, rather than making you wait as the SPM does.
A script which send you an e-mail with details of upcoming recordings, deletions and clashes. Requires cron installed to be useful, so you can get it automatically every day
A TiVoWeb module which shows the programmes in the schedule where the Original Air Date is the same as the broadcast date, ie they are brand new episodes. Useful for spotting one-offs which in a no live TV environment you might miss.
A TiVoWeb module which shows you unresolved conflicts, then discovers if a second networked TiVo is available to record them.
Compares the guide data to that sourced over the web from
Digiguide (
An Excel spreadsheet (!) which removes duplicate showings on the same day of programmes on a specified channel.
Coming Soon:
A TiVoWeb module/TCL script to stop TiVo re-recording episodes you have already seen.
