Written by Leo Laporte and Gareth Branwyn.

Written by Leo Laporte one of the most widely recognized voices in consumer technology today, along with Gareth Branwyn, a veteran Wired magazine writer, editor, and book author, this is a fun, lighthearted, easy-to-follow guide to all things TiVo. This book covers everything from the simplest remote control trickery, to upgrading hardware, to hacks that give you even more control over your television destiny. Besides not reading like the Income Tax Act, this book is different from the competition in that we don't cover every single software and hardware hack available. We only focus on (and clearly describe) the hacks, upgrades, and improvements that most TiVo users are likely to perform. We focus on the things that will make life with your TiVo worth living - things such as adding a CallerID display to your television, adding a new hard drive, remote control hacks that anyone can perform and adding Web capabilities.
