I was just at a friends place and he has a sony unit. Th serial port 
doesn't look like such, look for the port labled ir, it looks much 
like a mini-stereo jack, there should be to jacks like this one above 
the other about middle of the back pannel. the top one of these two 
might be labeled serial, but in any case the one that isn't labeled 
ir is ttyS3, (this is linux for 3rd serial port)

You'll need look at the tivo faq web site and find the info on bash 
prompt. Follow the instructions. It's to long to explain here.
