I am successfully using ExtractStream 0.2 with TiVo 2.0.1. The only thing I
had to do was trick ExtractStream into reading my large A drive as though
it's an A and B drive. If you only have a single large drive in your TiVo,
this might work for you (to save you the trouble of upgrading
ExtractStream):

Make backups of /dev/hdb2 and /dev/hdb3:
$ mv /dev/hdb2 /deb/hdb2OLD
$ mv /dev/hdb3 /deb/hdb3OLD

Create /dev/hdb2 and /dev/hdb3 as symlinks to /dev/hda12 and /dev/hda13:
$ ln -s /dev/hda12 /dev/hdb2
$ ln -s /dev/hda13 /dev/hdb3

That did the trick for me with ExtractStream 0.2.
