Not sure what OS your Tivo has, but with [I think] 2.0 & I know with
2.5 that there's a 'standby' option, which seems to turn off
"myworld" and a few other things... I don't think there's any logging
or anything, at least until it 'wakes up' to record a show...

I usually 'standby' my Tivo, make *sure* it's done it's thing, then
pull the plug. Dunno if it's the 'right' thing to do, but I've never
had a problem... and it seems "cleaner" than just yanking for the
halibut.

I also only do it when I know that the updates aren't going to
happen...

The 'reboot than yank when the boot starts' shouldn't hurt anything
-- unless the Tivo actually boots with / read-write at first, then
remounts read-only later on... but I don't think it does that. I'm
pretty sure it's read-only thru the entire boot process, so that's
another (possibly better than mine) way to shutdown as cleanly as
possible.

Laterz,
