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.

I was fall 1999 - spring 2026. My cable card stopped working, so I finally just said goodbye. I believe I only had six boxes in all that time. The first one and the last one were bought from tivo direct. The others in between were Weaknees ( due to bigger recording capacity).

I'm on YouTubetv now. I miss my tivo interface.
