Nope. I'm not sure whether anyone truly understands the fsid->sector 
mapping on TiVo's...at least not here. This mapping would appear to 
be what causes the wrong stuff to be extracted.

What I'd like to see is some code which does the tyStream extract 
exclusively using mfs (I assume this is possible with dumpobj?). If 
this is possible, then I would assume that we would get the right 
stuff out of our box.
