I was interested in what my ethernet port was doing on my virgin media TIVO box, so I ran some tests and found I could control my TIVO box from my laptop, here are my findings.
First, I went into the Tivo boxes settings on screen and enabled network access.
Next, I logged into my home hub/router to find out what IP address it had been allocated
http://192.168.100.1/ and clicked devices.
Once I had its IP address, (192.168.0.7) I scanned its ports and found the following services:
adrian@adrian-laptop:~$ nmap 192.168.0.7
Starting Nmap 5.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2012-10-21 10:37 BST
Interesting ports on 192.168.0.7:
Not shown: 997 filtered ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
443/tcp open https
2190/tcp open unknown
2191/tcp open unknown
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 5.50 seconds
The obvious one that stands out is port 443, so visiting https://192.168.0.7/ shows a web server requesting login, I found that the username is tivo and the password is your media key found in settings > mediakey.
Once logged in, a list of recorded programmes will be displayed but however streaming and downloading are disabled :(.
I tried for sometime to circumvent the streaming restriction using various techniques the closest I came was with VLC and special plugins http://tivo-vlc.sourceforge.net/notes.php#install, but so far I haven’t been able to achieve this.
I looked into what the box is, and it turns out its fundamentally Linux box with a glossy coat, with some features disabled (like streaming something to do with UK copyright laws).
Along the way I found I could telnet to port 31339 on the box
telnet 192.168.0.7 31339
which responded with
CH_STATUS 0213 RECORDING
This is the status of the two tuners, and what they are doing, you can now use commands like:
KEYBOARD (Dunno what this does)
TELEPORT - e.g TIVO, LIVETV, GUIDE, and NOWPLAYING.
SETCH - Change channel. If the current tuner is recording a program, it will change the other tuner. If both tuners are recording, the TiVo will respond with "CH_FAILED RECORDING . Using this command while Tivo is replaying will give "CH_FAILED NO_LIVE".</p>
<p>FORCECH <CHANNEL> - This command will force the current tuner to the tune the desired channel regardless of what it's doing. If a recording is being recorded it will cancel the recording and change the channel without confirmation.<br />
</code><br />
Also a complete set of IRCODE’s exist <code>IRCODE <COMMAND></code></p>
<p> a quick google and I found the following IRCODE commands that seem to work.</p>
<p>UP<br />
DOWN<br />
LEFT<br />
RIGHT<br />
SELECT<br />
TIVO<br />
LIVETV<br />
THUMBSUP<br />
THUMBSDOWN<br />

NUM1<br />
NUM2<br />
NUM3<br />
NUM4<br />
NUM5<br />
NUM6<br />
NUM7<br />
NUM8<br />
NUM9<br />
ENTER<br />
CLEAR<br />
PLAY<br />
PAUSE<br />
SLOW<br />
FORWARD<br />
REVERSE<br />
STANDBY<br />
NOWSHOWING<br />
REPLAY<br />
ADVANCE<br />
DELIMITER<br />
GUIDE</p>
<p>Typing these commands into the telnet session, made the tivo box change channel etc…. cool!</p>
<p>To exit the telnet session press <code>CTRL + ]</code> thats right, control and right square bracket!!, then type quit at the prompt</p>
<p>I was able to source a nice GUI that can automate these commands https://github.com/wmcbrine/tivoremote</p>
<p>So, as long as you have Python installed (Mac & linux users by default), just running the script produces a nice GUI that can manage your Tivo box from your laptop.</p>
<p>I also found, if your interested in developing apps for it, its SDK is written for AS3 and can be found here http://developer.tivo.com/</p>
