Serial/PPP

• Gives a bash prompt on your TiVo

• Lets you explore around the file system, more insight into the OS

• Free, cable comes with TiVo

• Have to open TiVo system and remove hard drive for this one

  • Void your warrenty (not a surprise)

• Possible to run PPP over serial, and allow TiVo to get updates through broadband connection without NIC inside TiVo (cheaper, too)
