JWSmythe's Journal: Happy Hacker In TIVoLaNd

hehehee...

    I'm just freakin' happy...

    It's almost 3am, and I'm still playing with Mr. TiVo. Ok, I did some other things, I'm not quite that obsessive.

    The image I snagged off of emule worked perfectly. I had to do a reset, because it wasn't for the same model as what I have, but that's fine. It came back being perfectly content. When it first fired up, it only used one of the receivers, now it uses both..

    Unfortunately, I don't have my old recorded shows. :( They're still on the other drive, all I have to do is swap them.

    What I'm very happy about is the ability to telnet to it now. It immediately fixed the one thing I couldn't do with the old software. I have three different USB devices sitting here, and I couldn't get any of them to work. The one I happened to leave plugged in works fine, and since it's a piece of crap, I don't mind leaving it for the TiVo. hehe

Aparently I have all that cool HMO stuff, plus the TiVoWeb. :) They already have most of the basic *nix binaries on here. There are a few missing, like find and netstat. I have netstat, now I just have to find a copy of 'find' compiled for MIPS.

    I think it's cool to have yet another Linux box that I can use.. hehe. I've been kinda put off that I've had a perfectly good Linux machine running in my house, that I couldn't log into. I'm freakin' root, dammit, I get root everywhere. You can't tell me I can't be root on my own TV-Box-Thingie. :)

    Ok, I'm off to play more. I found FTP works, so I can go wild transfering binaries on. Maybe I'll to build myself a cross compiler tonight. :)

Too bad

Too bad I got rid of the CobaltRaQ 2 a couple of years back. That was mipsel arch (R4000 CPU).
