When your Tivo gets confused...

Mr. Iwanyk, 32 years old, first suspected that his TiVo thought he was gay, since it inexplicably kept recording programs with gay themes. A film studio executive in Los Angeles and the self-described "straightest guy on earth," he tried to tame TiVo's gay fixation by recording war movies and other "guy stuff."

"The problem was, I overcompensated," he says. "It started giving me documentaries on Joseph Goebbels and Adolf Eichmann. It stopped thinking I was gay and decided I was a crazy guy reminiscing about the Third Reich."

So you must be the TiVo owner that xopherg was telling me about. Was setting up the ripping and downloading of mpegs from the TiVo tedious? I'm interested in both doing that and the software that lets you watch shows at an accelerated rate.

The main problem is that I don't have a decent computer to download anything to at the moment (the largest drive on any computer I have at home right now is 4 gig).

The only thing we all agree on is buffy.

Isn't that how the world should be? :)

If you are a computer geek, networking and hacking Tivo is easy. Open it up, put in the network card, put your drive in your PC, run a program, reassemble Tivo and it's a Linux box you can telnet into and hack with.

The accelerated viewing is a function of the new version of WinDVD.
