Things that they don’t tell you….

November 11th, 2009 admin No comments

The TiVo is a wonderful box but it has a few things which aren’t officially documented anywhere.. (or are they ?)

These may or may not work with NZ’s TiVo but please let me know if they don’t work or there are anymore not listed here.

Note: Try at your own risk and if your new shiny $920 TiVo doesn’t work anymore after trying these don’t blame me.

Enabling/Disabling Remote Backlight – Press TiVo and Thumbs Down until the red light blinks 3 times. To Turn it back on Press the TiVo and thumbs Up until the red light blinks 3 times.

SELECT PLAY SELECT PAUSE SELECT (Quicker Display Hiding)
SELECT PLAY SELECT 9 SELECT (Enable/Disable Clock)
SELECT PLAY SELECT INSTANT-REPLAY SELECT (Input Debug mode?). You may have to reboot the TiVo to disable this?

Port 31339 – For remote/home automation so you can use an iphone app for example to change channels etc

Port 443 (SSL Port) – You can connect to your TiVo via your web browser. https://ipaddres_of_tivo and then the username is tivo and the password is your MAK
