RSS feeds of your Now Playing and ToDo lists

Years ago, fellow weblogger Matt Kingston was one of the first people I ever saw that hacked his TiVo to do all sorts of amazing stuff like output his now showing list to his website (his hacking also inspired me to dip into my TiVo's case). Another TiVo Hacker and weblogger named Dave Wild came along and wanted to do the same thing for his site, so he hacked together some RSS output feeds for TiVos running TiVoWebPlus. The files are on Dave's site and here's a TiVo forum post about the details.

Last night I downloaded these hacks and loaded them onto my TiVo, but I haven't gotten it to work quite yet though I'm optimistic I'll have it running in a few days, after which, I'll start publishing my Now Showing and ToDo status here.

update: actually, the relevant code is in the TiVo Forum post, which I did get to work, no problem.
