You wouldn't want to either. A DOS on your tivo is quite easy to

watching a show an suddenly it studders, pauses, and then your
tivo reboots. :(

I can pull 950K/sec with netcat. None of the other ones even come clost
to its performance. Thats why most solutions like tympeg and netmplex
use it as their transport.
