[CUBE] TiVo

[Michael Blossom]

There is a very large Tivo hacking community, so if you're not afraid 
to get your hands dirty, so to speak, then you'll find ways to get your 
Tivo onto your ethernet network.

Here is a post I found in a forum on the subject:

====
Do a google search on this term 

DirecTiVo Series 2 Hacking 

and it will take you where all the answers are.  Be prepared to do a 
lot of reading. 

When you get to the site, check out the stickies, the fourth one in 
particular to get you started toward getting the ethernet ports 
enabled. 

You will need to buy a USB ethernet adapter and do yourself a favor and 
pick one that's supported by the drivers installed in the hacks ISO 
sleeper created.  I use the Dlink DUB E100--others work but you will 
have to search and read because I don't know the answer without looking 
myself
