I don't want to cheat TiVO — In fact, I'd like to nuke the drive with a completely open source distro with no TiVO drivers at all. Some uses I'd find interesting:
A PVR for security cams A PVR for a drive cam A unit for weather reporting FAX/Telephone Power monitor for the home Other home automation
Again — I would prefer a completely TiVO free install — this is because I have major issues with TiVO and don't want the slightest taint if their intellectual property. But since I paid for the hardware, I'd like to wring some use of it rather than simply put it in the landfill. I won't give it away for some other person to experience my issues with TiVO — I'll throw it away before I'd do that."
