Extraction from a "netless " Sony DirecTiVo SAT60

[pokemonrdobh]

I have a DirecTivo and I've used the fixed extractstream for 
DirecTivo's you might beable to search for it in the 
www.dealdatabase.com forms under Direct Tivo and tystream. In any 
case I have a 60gb drive and I keep 20gb as ext2 space for my self 
and the 40gb for tivo. I extract out to my 20gb space and then I have 
ppp running on tivo and connect to linux host I have. I'm using ftp 
for the file transfer. You can search the net on ppp there are 
several how-to's for tivo ppp. You can alternatly just remove the 
drive and mount it on a pc with linux and copy off the data from the 
ext2 partition.
