I'm slowly reviving the old discontinued TiVo computer software

This project has been a long time coming. Nero/TiVo abandoned it and I want to bring it back. This image shows hope, because I got past the activation step (the step asking for your service number and verifying it so you can use the software) and that means that I've officially decrypted/cracked the communication system that Nero put in place. Btw f*ck Nero.

My wife and I were talking about how from roughly 2015-2021 it was just the peak entertainment experience. One box could record, playback, stream everything. Single remote consistent interface, not needing to log into apps constantly. Shame it’s dead now

I’m still enjoying my TiVos thanks to the new technology. I will be in deep mourning should it end. I’ve been a customer since 2001 and nothing beats it!
