First impressions of DirecTiVo superhackery

I've spent the last twelve hours or so enjoying one of the first preview drives from PTVupgrade's new PTVnet service. I'll do a full write-up later this week but so far it's really amazing stuff.

I'd like to share a quick preview. Once you've got a DirecTiVo on the network, you can use TiVoWebPlus as a front-end to add shows, sort recordings, and do some deep searching. Along with the included FTP and telnet, you can extend the basic toolkit in all sorts of ways.

This is really exciting stuff, and the start of the perfect TiVo toolset I always dreamed of having.

updated: removed stuff about hacks not related to PTVnet.
