Pretty much..

assuming that you have the "safety" hack on your Tivo:

<a href="http://www.freeranger.co.uk/TiVo/HowTo.htm#SafeHacking";>http://www.freeranger.co.uk/TiVo/HowTo.htm#SafeHacking</a>

and place the hub and osd app in

/var/hack/xpl

you just add the following lines:

ifconfig lo up
/var/hack/xpl/xplhub &amp;
/var/hack/xpl/tivoosd node0 &amp;

to your /var/hack/rc.sysinit.hack file (where node0 is the instance to use)

do
with dodgy tar options, and seem to have been cleared up.
