Series3 PROM hack

The Series3 has been out for 3 or 4 months now and while it is great, everyone is still waiting for long awaited features like Multi-Room Viewing and TiVoToGo. Well Narf54321 of DealDatabase.com isn’t waiting around and has figured out a way to hack the PROM chip which is very similar to hacking previous TiVos. Unfortunately this is less than the ideal way to hack a TiVo since it requires soldering and programming a PROM chip. Most people who hack their TiVo use a hacked Kernel instead to get around the TiVo’s protections. Now before you run off following the read link, keep in mind that the DealDatabase developers forum isn’t for n00bs and they won’t take kindly to “how much to hack my TiVo” posts. While some hacks like TiVoWebPlus have been applied, others like content extraction are unconfirmed.
