This.

I'm also tighter than Bruce Lee's pants at the start of Enter the Dragon. I'm loathe to spend 15 odd dollars on a program that probably won't work. :C
 

Of course, if you could run some sort of server program on a PC that emulated another Virginmedia Tivo you'd be well away.

That software seems to work the other way around - you transfer files from your PC to the TiVo, not the other way around.

As far as I know, there's no easy way of getting recordings off a TiVo box and onto your PC or something; the boxes, I believe, can talk between themselves and maybe share content, but not with non-TiVo devices. From the point of view of protecting material from being illegally exploited I guess it makes sense, but it's a PITA if you just want to watch your own recordings...

I'll have to resort to getting the VCR out and recording from the TiVo to tape.  :-Y

I am using Virgin Media TiVo  Box for the last two years. Till last month it was running normal and but from the second week of this month it is giving problem. If I am watching any good program, in between the program it hangs and remain in that position some time for 15 minutes and sometimes for 2 hours. I brought this fact before Virgin Media Customer care on the number mentioned here and told them all the facts. They told me to reset my TiVo box by following the steps mentioned below:-

-Select “Help & Settings” on the Home screen.
-Choose “Clear” or “Reset set top box”.
-Select “Restart” or “Reset System.”

Thereafter  you have to choose from the 4 options mentioned below:-

-Restart the set top box
-Clear Thumb ratings and Suggestions
-Clear Program information & My Planned Recordings
-Clear & delete everything: It will clear everything from the box such as “Series Links”, “Thumbs Up” and “Thumbs Down” ratings, your recordings, parental controls and suggestions. This process may take about an hour to complete.






 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

And?
