TiVo: The Alternate EPG Project

If you have the original Thompson Scenium TiVo you'll know that from
June 1st the TiVo service is to be withdrawn. It's replacement will
only be available to Virgin Media customers using their own-brand PVR.

The Alternate EPG project ( http://www.altepg.com/ ) is now in alpha
testing for network-upgraded TiVos (even those that previously had no
subscription).

The good news is that the change over is really simple. Edit one text
file on the TiVo, the remaining changes can be done from the onscreen
menus using various back-doors in the original TiVo software. Also you
can keep your existing recordings.

The bad news is that analogue channels are no longer supported. Also
any Season Passes setup to date will be useless and should be deleted
and re-created.

For instructions you'll need to register at the TiVo Land forums then
read these threads:
