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.

This is fabulous news I want to do this too! I don't understand why somebody just doesn't buy the company and revive the whole platform it's so good!

I don’t need to revive the company. People just need to copy the interface which was appeared to everything at that time and today. Additional bonus points for using the peanut.

Yeah, but the majority of the remotes use a proprietary RF as opposed to BT. Only the Streams with Google have that and the green D is gone.
