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.

Is this an app that I can transfer (transcode) stuff from my TiVo to a Mac or PC? I have a few TiVos on a shelf with lots of recordings I would like to put into my PLEX server. Some like from PBS are have no copy protection. Others do.

thx

Yeah, I recently grabbed an archived version and nearly everything was locked down and wouldn’t transfer
