Series 2 Owners Beware!!!!
This book is great if you have one of the old machines that non one seels any more, but it's worthless forthe owner of a new TiVo. The author obviously knows what he's talking aboiut, but it doesn't matter any more. I sent this back and bought the Von Hagen book, which had the Series @ and tall of the old Series 1 info.

I Should Have Read the Other Reviews B4 Ordering..
...but I didn't. I ordered the book along with a Series 2 Tivo. Tivo should arrive later this week, but got the book early. When statements are made in the book saying things like "These hacks are known to work on the Series 1 but not Series 2...." and "Series 2 doesn't support this, for more information, go to this website....", I realize that I made a mistake in ordering this book.A co-worker has a Series 1 and may see if he wants it, because the book is useless to me other than to provide weblinks to where I can actually get useful information. Waste of $$$.

Not much help for newer TiVo machines.
The book is great for older model TiVo machines. Type 2 TiVo machines, which are all that are being sold now, are not really dealt with in this book.Save yourself some money and just look up TiVo hacking on the internet if you have a type 2 TiVo.
