kmttg - Tivo transfer tool

I have been a Tivo user and hacker since 2000. I have done hard drive upgrades on all of them through the years and on the DirectTV models I used to have, had added TurboCache network cards to make them network connected (this was before the network connectivity was added in the Series 2 Tivos).

Getting content on and off the Tivo has been the primary interest of my hacking (other than expanding capacity) and tools to assist in this have improved significantly over the years.

One tool I've used for some time which is great at getting content off the tivos is kmttg

http://code.google.com/p/kmttg/

This program was originally written in perl, but the current incarnation was re-written in Java. It includes the following features:

• View all listings on all your networked TiVos with full details of recording size and bitrates
• Can automatically pull files from all networked TiVos as background service
• Encode transferred shows to different formats
• Integration with commercial detection and cutting tools
• Close integration with pyTivo - can generate metadata files and push files automatically back to TiVos.
• Cross Platform: runs on Windows, Mac or Linux
• Open Source
  

If you have a Tivo you have to check it out.
