Actually, you can get it out of your DirectTivo. If its an earlier unit, you can get it out fairly easily. If its an R10, you need some soldering skills to change the PROM on the unit so you can change info on disk and have it work. Check out http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/ there is plenty of good info on extraction. Once you have the machine setup to export, I use TivoTool (mac) from http://tivotool.com/ to extract, convert to ipod format and stick it right into iTunes for me. I've hacked both my original hughes and my R10 to do extraction, its great.
