Re: Re: For the less technically inclined of us...

Probably the easiest path to a fully hacked system is to buy "Instant Cake" and "PTVnet Utils" disks.  I think they are both $20 to download the images, and then you burn them onto a CD.  You still have to get in there and hack around, but it's about the most automated path to a fully hacked system I know of.  You'll end up being able to download your content from your HD Tivo to your computer hard drives.

You'll then need tytompeg from dealdatabase.com, by following this link: http://dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51740&highlight=tytompeg.

Good luck.

Is there any service out there that will modify our HR10-250, so that

I am dying to move non-OTA (over the air) content over to my Apple TV
in 720p HD!  

Currently, I have to digitize it to mpeg-2 720x480 anamorphic files
from the analog output and then transcode it over to the Apple TV,
which, of course, is 480p and not true HD.

Thanks.

There is at least one that describes the necessary hacks. You also 
might want to check mfslive.org.

Instantcake is a good source for a backup image if you don't have one
handy. OTOH, the PTVnet utilities disk is a complete waste of money,
IMHO. The files are all free for download and the instructions to
install them are pretty simple and freely available. If you have a
Zipper CD configured all you need to do is run the initial Zipper
installation without any of the enhancements and you'll have all the
networking functions setup in just a few minutes for absolutely no cost.
